Welcome to Chaigeley School.

Physical Education

The Physical Education (PE) Department is dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of students and staff through physical activity.

Our department is committed to maximising opportunities for students, young people, and the school community to engage in physical activity. We promote various avenues for activity, including within the curriculum, the school environment, and the wider community.

Our primary goal is to ensure that all aspects of physical activity in school are actively encouraged to enhance the health and well-being of students, staff, and visitors.

Every student receives a minimum of two hours of high-quality PE instruction per week, which is spread over their schedule. Additionally, we offer students the opportunity to participate in additional activities through the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme as part of their curriculum.

We also collaborate with Everton FC’s Program, which involves weekly visits from trainers. These trainers engage the students in football games and skills, while also incorporating numeracy and literacy activities related to football.

We are committed to fostering a positive and active environment that promotes physical well-being for all members of our school community.

In addition to regular PE lessons, students in Year 10 and 11 have the exciting opportunity to study Cambridge National in Sport Studies. This course allows students to deepen their understanding and practical application of sports-related activities, with a specific emphasis on officiating. They will explore current issues within the sports industry, different roles and involvement in sports, and the broader impact of sports on society.

By undertaking the Cambridge National in Sport Studies, students will develop valuable knowledge and skills that are relevant to the sports industry. They will gain insights into the importance of fair play, rules, and regulations in sports, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding sports activities. This course provides a comprehensive perspective on the multifaceted nature of sports and its influence on individuals and communities.

Through engaging with this qualification, students will be equipped with a solid foundation for further study or potential careers in sports-related fields. It offers a unique opportunity for them to explore their interests and develop their skills in a subject area that resonates with their passion for sports.
