Teachers: Mr. N. Brearley, Mrs. S. Livingstone
Here at St Brigid's we aim to make your PE experience an enjoyable one. We offer a wide variety of sports within lessons, promoting many qualities that sport offers such as Leadership, Sportsmanship, Teamwork and moralistic behaviours. Everyone immediately thinks of the practical elements, but have you ever considered how often sporting issues are discussed?
As you progress through the school we offer WJEC Award in PE and BTEC Level 3 in Sport at KS5. During these courses we still offer some practical elements, but discover the wide range of sporting theory, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Skill Acquistion, Sports Psychology and Contemporary Issues.
Away from the classroom we aim to offer many opportunities with extra curricular sport, both with lunch time clubs and the chance to represent school against others in competition. It's a different way to shine in school!
