The PE Curriculum

PE is offered in many forms at The John Fisher School.

In Key Stage 3 the boys have one PE lesson per week in which they will study a wide range of sports. These include gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, badminton, fitness and athletics. The focus in these lessons is to improve skill levels, increase tactical awareness and develop the ability to evaluate their own and others' performance.
In addition to this PE lesson the boys also take part in a double games lesson. In Years 7 and 8 the emphasis is on rugby for the first 3 half terms. This is then followed by a half term of football, which is taught by the B Tec National students. In the summer the boys are offered cricket and athletics. In Year 9 those boys not playing rugby for the school spend a half term on each of football, tennis, badminton and swimming. In the summer term the boys are given a choice of a wide range of activities.

During Key Stage 4 the boys receive one PE lesson in Year 10 and a double games lesson in both Year 10 and 11. Again a wide range of sports are offered in curricular PE; these include badminton, basketball, health & fitness, lacrosse, short tennis and athletics.
