During Key Stage 3 the Physical Education course covers Health Related Fitness, Dance, Gymnastics, Athletics and Games, including Soccer, Rugby, Netball,  Basketball, Volleyball, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Rounders and Badminton. 

These are taught on a modular basis by a team of specialist staff. 

Positive, well motivated attitudes towards a healthy, enjoyable, social lifestyle are always encouraged. 

There are a wide range of clubs and practices both at lunchtime and after school and the school enters teams in a large number of local and regional leagues and competitions.

Pupils are encouraged to represent the school and to go further and gain Town or County representative honours wherever possible. 

Where appropriate pupils are put into contact with local reputable clubs for coaching and further experience. 

The school has achieved great success over the years in a range of both team and individual sports and this is always celebrated by announcements in assemblies, photographs on the plasma screen or pupil achievement board in the foyer, the award of credits, prizes or other awards etc.  For example, each year the prestigious Gordon Banks Trophy is awarded at Presentation Evening to the pupil judged to be the most successful in Physical Education over the previous twelve months, either in or out of school.
