Key Stage 5: PPSE (Personal Participation in Sport and Exercise)
During the Sixth form we continue our sporting traditions giving our students the opportunity to engage in personalised participation in activities that they choose. Activities are chosen by the students and organised by staff so that individualised team sport and fitness choices can be explored.
We tailor our sports programme around the key educational values of promoting general and specific fitness, helping to give each student an active and balanced lifestyle. We also teach all students what can be learnt through winning and losing, both as an individual and as a team. Most of all we want students to enjoy their sport and to work hard at whatever level they choose to play.
We strive to provide opportunities for students at both elite and participatory levels. We offer an element of choice in the sports programme that gets wider as students’ progress through the academy. Many of our students go on to represent their district in a variety of sports.
