Welcome to the PE Department 

Physical Education at Ashton develops pupils’ competence and confidence to take part in a range of physical activities that become a central part of their lives, both in and out of school. The high-quality physical education curriculum enables all pupils to enjoy and succeed in many kinds of physical activity. Students develop a wide range of skills and the ability to use tactics, strategies and compositional ideas to perform successfully. When they are performing, they think about what they are doing, analyse the situation and make decisions. They also reflect on their own and others’ performances and find ways to improve them. Physical Education also helps young people to develop positive attitudes towards participation in physical activities in their pursuit of a healthy lifestyle.
