Vision
‘To develop healthy, capable and resilient young athletes, while attaining widespread, inclusive, sustainable and enjoyable participation and success for all levels of individual athletic achievement.’
WHY is Sport and Physical Activity so important?
• Physically active students perform better in school than their inactive peers
• Improvements in general motor skills, functional fitness and physiological health
• Improvements in self-esteem, body image and mood
• Improvements in persistence, resilience and initiative.
• Improvements in community cohesion, teamwork and positive relationships
• Improvements in cognitive functioning, memory and academic performance
In summary, the Queen’s College PE Department wishes to:
OFFER – Provision and quality coaching for all
ENGENDER – Enthusiasm and a lifelong love of sport and physical activity with all
EXPECT – High standards from all
The Physical Education curriculum is designed to be accessible for all pupils.
We have one 60 minute PE lesson per week where every child will gain the opportunity to learn new skills and concepts, to take part in some vigorous physical activity and to enjoy themselves.

We are delighted to have started 2021 by launching a new Queen's College Sport website, which has been built using the knowledge and expertise of the dedicated Sport staff.
The website will serve students from Reception up to Sixth Form and its initial function will be to provide all students with access to remote content and live sessions which can be followed at home. The live sessions will be led by the students' coaches and will be fully interactive.
There will also be weekly challenges and events which the whole community will be invited to join. We look forward to 'seeing you' at one of the events.
