Our Physical Education department encourages pupils, through equality of opportunity, to develop their skills in a range of sporting activities.
PE is taught to all pupils throughout the College from Class 3 to II Seniors (Year 7 to 13). Pupils in Classes 3, 2 and 1 have one weekly PE lesson in our on-site gymnasium where they experience sports such as badminton, fitness training, gymnastics and handball. They also receive one Dance lesson a week, where they cover a range of dance styles and work towards a performance piece at the Dance Show later in the year. Alongside this, every year group has a weekly Games Afternoon where they travel the short journey to Paddington Recreation Ground to use their extensive facilities for sports such as netball, football, hockey, tennis, rounders and athletics. The older students have the opportunity to receive training from external instructors in taekwondo and attend sessions at a local fitness centre. Extra-curricular sports are very popular at Queen’s; we offer a broad range of activities before, during and after school and have a very busy fixture timetable where we use Regent’s Park for training and home matches.
We also offer GCSE Dance, which has produced some excellent results. All dance students, regardless of their year group, have the opportunity to perform in our fantastic annual Dance Show.
