The Physical Education Department

Grove School - Physical Education DepartmentThe school and college have excellent facilities for both indoor and outdoor activities, with large playing fields, a sports hall and a gymnasium.  We offer a wide range of activities during lessons and after school. 

The Physical Education curriculum is designed to offer experience in as many activities as possible, sometimes in single-sex groups and sometimes in mixed groups.  These include soccer, rugby, cricket, hockey, volleyball, basketball, cross-country running, tennis, netball, badminton, table tennis, gymnastics, trampolining, athletics and health-related fitness activities. 

Grove School - Physical Education DepartmentClearly not every activity can be available to every year group. In Key Stage 3 students will follow a programme in line with the National Curriculum gaining experience of a range of team sports as well as individual activities.  In Key Stage 4 students are offered more choice and can select from a range of activities and games each half term.

In Grove College students also have the option of A level PE or the OCR course in Sports Studies.

There are clubs in all the major sports and school teams are selected from those who attend practices regularly to compete with other schools and enter county competitions.

 

The large department is led by Mr A Barber and Miss L Murphy is Second in Department. Also teaching PE are Miss J Broughton, Mrs R Whittaker, Mr J Granger and Mr D Littleford. Mrs V Lightfoot is currenly on maternity leave.
