At SFX our students think like an athlete because...
they ask questions. They are curious about health, fitness and wellbeing and the new topics and information that they are learning. They are critical thinkers and can analyse and evaluate sporting movements/performance and data. They can analyse a situation and apply the most appropriate action in order to get the best results and then they are able to evaluation their performance and provide feedback to others.

PE vision
Our aim is to utilise exceptional teaching and learning to inspire lifelong sporting participation by providing opportunities for all.
The PE department are dedicated to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to not only succeed in sport but also in the wider community. We have a real passion for extracurricular sport and the role it plays in the holistic development of our students. We firmly believe that by offering sporting opportunities in a wide range of sports, both in and out of lessons, we are contributing to the mental, physical and social well-being of our students. Whilst giving them the opportunity to further develop their God given talents.
Our diverse KS3 and KS4 programme is designed to enable pupils to experience greater independence, leadership and ownership in their lessons. There is an emphasis on pupils being active. Pupils experience varied roles such as coach, referee, and team manager and will have sporting, recreational and health and well-being promoting opportunities. These explorative and flexible methods of content delivery promote compassion and courage from our students, contributing to their overall character development.
