| Welcome to The Physical Education Department. |
| The next couple of years will realise extensive changes, innovations and creativity within the department of Physical Education. September 2010 will see the changes of the new National Curriculum for Physical Education. These changes will be supported by an expansion of the use of the school hall, 4 tennis courts, dance studio, playing fields, and greater access to Sir David English and Littledown leisure centre.These exciting developments require a PE team, curricular and extra curricular programme to challenge and stimulate all pupils.
