Physical Education
Greenford High School’s PE department is a young, dynamic department where pupils are encouraged to participate in a range of activities both individual and team. The PE department pride themselves on the quality of provision we offer our pupils. At key stage 3 pupils experience numerous sports including netball, football, badminton, table tennis, swimming, trampolining and gymnastics. The main focus in Year 7 is to understand the relationship between a healthy lifestyle and participating in sport; pupils focus on their diet and fitness and follow a programme aimed at improving their core skills for participation in sport and physical activity. At key stage 4 pupils are given option blocks and so follow the sports they favour and in doing so encourage lifelong participation.
In our extra-curricular timetable pupils have the opportunity to experience new and exciting sports such as street dance, fencing, trampolining and self defence as well as more traditional sports of netball, football and gymnastics. Students can join lunch time and after school clubs run by teachers and specialist coaches in a stress free environment with the focus on participation.
We also run GCSE PE and BTEC sport qualifications. Our results in both qualifications are amongst the best in the school. Within our GCSE course we run a trekking trip to Wales where pupils have the opportunity to trek and camp in the Welsh countryside for a week each year. This trip is all about getting back to nature and personal development and is a great success with students returning with a great sense of achievement and focused for their Year 11 examinations. The trekking trip also counts towards all pupils receiving a bronze award in Duke of Edinburgh.
