AIMS
St. Anne’s Physical Education Department aims to foster an understanding and enjoyment of physical activity which can be extended to a pleasurable use of leisure time. Knowledge of how physical activity contributes to overall well-being underpins our curriculum.
Students are given opportunities across a broad range of activities to be creative and competitive and to face up to different challenges alone, in groups and in teams. We aim to help students discover their aptitudes, abilities and preferences enabling them to make informed choices after leaving school and for a lifelong involvement in physical activity.
KEY STAGE 4
GCSE PE enables students to enjoy and understand the benefits of living a healthy and active lifestyle, and students the opportunity to study Physical Education in greater depth. It allows students to examine the effects of exercise on the human body and understand how effective training can improve performance.
