The PED’s ethos is very much centred on encouraging each and every individual to reach their potential. The lessons and units of work are designed around being informative, fun and with high levels of activity. A diverse range of extra-curricular clubs are always heavily populated and fixtures against other school are plentiful. We are a recognised ‘centre’ for the sports of Hockey and Table Tennis. Independent learning and various teaching styles help to give the dynamic lessons a real edge. Hockey, football, netball and swimming are target sports.
Pupil participation is very high and we are rightly proud of all their achievements and progress. The department is staffed by 4 highly enthusiastic, energetic and approachable members of staff: 3 male and 2 female.
Trips and visits include a highly popular and established hockey tour to Spain. Trips have been arranged to football matches at the New Wembley Stadium and to the tennis championships at Wimbledon. Regular sponsorship events are held by the PED. These have included a sponsored football day, a Cha Cha slide event and an annual Sponsored Health week.
