The PE Department introduces girls to a wide range of physical activities which allows girls to find their sport, encourages a healthy lifestyle and a lifelong involvement in physical activity.

Girls follow rotations of activities in the Lower School and then are able to choose their options as they move up the School. Learn more about the range of sports and activities on offer from our Sports Directory.

For more information on the PE curriculum please contact Mrs Lizzie Broyd (Assistant Director of Sport, Curriculum).
