Head of Physical Education: Mr D Mills (d.mills@swr.gloucs.sch.uk)

Our intent:

At SWR we see Physical Education (PE) as a vital part of the school curriculum, helping to produce healthy, happy and resilient individuals. We actively promote, and provide opportunity for high levels of participation and all students are encouraged to improve their own fitness level.

There is also the opportunity to strive for excellence both within lessons and during extra curricular activities. This may be in the numerous clubs on offer, inter house competition and competing for the school team against the other schools in the Stroud and Cotswold District and the Gloucestershire School Games. Students are also afforded the opportunity to attend trials for the District or County teams and many have succeeded in playing representative sport.

Students are given opportunities to experience different roles through our Sports Leadership Programme, for example coaching and officiating at Primary School sports events. Those that excel in this area can apply to be Sports Prefects and assist the PE department in the running of extra curricular clubs.
