Physical Education & Games

Key Stage 3

All boys in Years 6 – 9 are allocated one Physical Education period of 60 minutes each week which is used to establish a foundation of skills in a number of basic activities. Each Year group follows a 6-week programme of study in each of the following activity areas:

• Health Related Excercise
• Swimming
• Gymnastics (Years 7 and 8)
• Invasion Games (Basketball)
• Fielding & Striking (Cricket)
• Net/Wall Games (Badminton) (Year 9)
• Athletics

There is one triple Games period of 90 minutes each week. The Games afternoons revolve around the School's main sports of rugby, hockey, cross-country and basketball in the Autumn and Spring terms; and cricket, athletics and tennis in the Summer term. Soccer and volleyball are played in rotation groups.
