Key stage 3 incorporates years 7, 8, and 9. During this time students mature tremendously both mentally and physically. The PE faculty recognises that every student has their own individual needs and will adapt the groups and lessons to ensure that every student has a positive experience, in a supportive and challenging environment.

At Key Stage 3 we believe it is far too early in a student's development to pigeon hole them into certain sporting activities. Instead we give every student the same opportunities in lessons to participate in a wide range of sporting activities and experiences whatever their ability level. During this stage, pupils are taught knowledge, skills and understanding through four main areas of activity, these include games, dance, gymnastics, and athletic activities.

Key Stage 3 Level Expectations

At the end of Year 7 we expect all our students to have achieved at least a level 4
At the end of Year 8 we expect all our students to have achieved at least a level 4/5
At the end of Year 9 we expect all our students to have achieved at least a level 5/6.
