PE Faculty Page

The intent of the Physical Education faculty is for every student to gain a lifelong commitment to physical activity. Consequently the faculty promotes a broad curriculum and wide ranging opportunities so that all can be inspired to value physical, social and mental well being both now and in thefuture.

We offer opportunities to every Sponne pupil, by providing a wide variety of sports covered in the curriculum and through the enhancement programme. Boys and girls both enjoy football and rugby, hockey, netball, tennis, athletics, rounders, cricket, badminton, basketball, fitness, outdoor education and trampolining. All of these are complemented by sports delivered in conjunction with outside agencies.

The faculty has enjoyed great success in extra-curricular activities, with teams regularly making (and often winning) county finals. Higher level successes have included quarter-finals in the National Football Cup, Midland Athletics finalists in three age groups National schools netball finalists and National u16 boys netball champions.Matches and practices take place on weekday lunchtimes and evenings.

Our successful SSCO programme, and the use of our leadership students, has enhanced our links with community clubs and local primaries and we build upon this with a range of new approaches in teaching and learning that have contributed to raising standards in Physical Education. GCSE PE and BTEC sport results are considerably above national averages and we have a successful ‘A’ level course.
