VISION/AIM
To ensure all students have the opportunity to become a hero, whilst developing a lifelong passion for sport and movement.
PE is a subject like no other! Studying PE allows students to understand how to maintain a physically, mentally and socially healthy lifestyle; whilst building resilience and character through a range of different sports and activities. Studying PE allows students to develop confidence and competency in their sporting performance. Furthermore, exposure to a range of different sports both during curriculum lessons and extra-curricular clubs can establish strong pathways to elite sporting centres.
The range of sporting extra-curricular opportunities at FHES is hugely diverse and we truly believe there is something for everyone! As a department, we conduct regular student voice surveys to ensure our programme is tailored to the interests of our students. All sports are open to all year groups and genders. The range of sports clubs and teams we offer is detailed below. We have a huge number of sports teams in which students will have the opportunity to represent. We pride ourselves on ensuring all teams remain inclusive and accessible to all students, whilst striving for excellence alongside this. This is evidenced by offering two teams in multiple year groups, as well as having regular league and cup success in a range of different sports and year groups.

In Year 8, students will revisit each unit of focus they completed in Year 7 however learn a different sport, following a different scheme of learning. For example, if students were taught basketball as their invasion game in Year 7, they would not revisit this sport and may instead be taught handball.
