Our curriculum is broad and balanced at both Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, with the option of examination-based courses at Key Stage 4 and 5. Our primary aim is to create a greater understanding of the benefits of physical activity, helping students to value an active lifestyle that extends beyond school. We ensure that all students are confident in participating, regardless of their physical ability, and strive to encourage greater extra-curricular participation, both within the school and the wider community.
