Physical Education
Physical Education at St Martin’s is for every student, regardless of ability and perceived sporting prowess. Our philosophy is one of inclusion, participation, enjoyment, improvement, learning and effort. Every student, whether a team member or a leisure/fun performer is expected to do his/her best at all times. Only 100% effort is accepted.
Throughout KS3 students are taught a wealth of sports which include football, netball, rugby, basketball, handball, badminton, fitness training, cross country, gymnastics, cricket, athletics, softball and rounders.
At KS4 students will, at times, be given a little more flexibility to choose areas for participation in a more leisure-based environment where emphasis is place on being active. Lessons include the tradition sports but with more game time along with personal fitness classes including Zumba, Aerobics, Body Combat etc.
