PE
Our Physical Education Curriculum has been designed to ensure all pupils develop the knowledge and understanding of how to promote a healthy and active lifestyle through participation and lifelong learning.
We want pupils to not only understand the importance of this but to continue to live a healthy and active lifestyle even after they have left Saracens High School by continuing to take part in sport and physical activity.
We want our pupils to have the chance to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities both in lessons and through our extensive extra curricular program.
Physical Education underpins our school values Honesty, Humility, Hard Work and Discipline and our curriculum exposes our pupils into how to live these values not only through sport and physical activity but within their lives.
