PE Core

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.”

Mike Singletary

At Churchdown PE, we aim to give our students the opportunity to enhance and develop their physical skills, knowledge and understanding through participating in a wide range of sporting activities. As a team, we strive for all students to live healthy, active lifestyles and, as such, aim to provide a plethora of opportunities for students of all abilities to thrive. We offer opportunities for students to compete competitively in invasion, net striking, and field games such as football, rugby, netball, basketball and tennis alongside catering for students with a passion for gymnastics, dance and health related fitness. With plenty of sporting venues inside the school available to use such as our first team show pitch, our fitness suite, and indoor and outdoor teaching spaces, we ensure that we place as much emphasis on the physical side of our subject as well as the academic. Our in-school provision is complemented by a wealth of opportunities for cultural enrichment as we strive to ensure students are able to attend live sporting events to both inspire and entertain. We are proud to offer PE at both GCSE and BTEC level at KS4 and this is carried on into our sixth form offer of the BTEC National Course where we are proud to deliver results which sit us in the top 10% of schools nationally. At Churchdown PE, regardless of whether you are an aspiring Olympic athlete, or enjoy skateboarding and hiking, there is a place for you to belong and perform to your potential.
