Physical Education (PE) & Sport

Led by: R Morris

Physical Education and Sport is at the heart of promoting children’s welfare, helping them to lead and promote active healthy lifestyles. PE lessons at Norton College provide a wide and inclusive range of sporting opportunities, both in lessons and during extra-curricular, to encourage engagement in sport in and outside of school. The PE Department is enthusiastic, ambitious and experienced, staffed by five subject specialists who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to their classes. It is our aim to use our facilities including Sports Hall, Fitness Suite, Gymnasium and fields to promote learning in an exciting and engaging way that combines facts and necessities with fun and time for exploration of current concepts and ideas. We look to provide a variety of trips throughout your child’s time through school to cover a range of contexts bringing the learning outside the classroom.

 

Our aim is to:

To promote students’ health, safety and well-being developing an understanding of how a healthy active lifestyle is important.

To enable all students to experience, improve and achieve in a range of activities.

Provide high quality teaching and coaching to enable students to develop personal and social skills.
