PE Curriculum

Physical Education is compulsory in both Key Stage 3 and 4. Students can opt to study examination courses in Key Stage 4 and 5.

Students in Years 7, 8 & 9 have 2 hours of PE each week which focus on participation and engagement and provide students with the opportunity to undertake a variety of sporting roles including performing, leading, coaching and officiating. In Years 10 & 11 students have one hour a week. Activities range from traditional team games such as Hockey and Football to Vigor Boarding and Indoor Bowling. Inter-house competition forms an important part of the NTSport calendar with students representing their forms in Hockey, Netball, Football, Rugby and during the annual Sports Day.

In the Sixth Form, examination courses in sport are offered through A-Level PE, BTEC Dance and the Level 3 Cambridge Technical in Sport.
