Physical Education
Physical Education aims to give a perfectly balanced curriculum fostering a healthy mind in a healthy body. The variety of sports and activities we offer ensures that all students are able to take part or compete in this important area of school life, regardless of their talents or skills.Our principal aim is to develop the interest and enthusiasm of each student for physical activity and then encourage them to participate regularly during their time at the school.
