Why Study PE?  

Physical Education is a varied subject which offers links with Biology and Food and Nutrition. You will develop your knowledge of health and fitness and acquire a variety of life skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, organisation and the ability to critically analyse. These skills are highly valued in further education and the world of work.  

Students will take part in theory and practical lessons in school and are required to gain video evidence of the sports that they perform in outside of school.
