At Cornwallis Academy we aim to ensure students enjoy their physical education lessons by providing exciting and challenging lessons that enable them to progress as performers and learners. We teach to enable students to achieve to the best of their sporting potential and always try to inspire students to try a variety of different sporting activities. The department promotes student aspirations through PE and Sport to ensure students have a vision and a pathway through our subject. We aim to provide our students with as many opportunities as possible through both curriculum time and extra-curricular clubs.

Physical education is a vital element in a comprehensive, well-balanced curriculum and can be a major contributing factor in the development of an individual in all aspects of life: physical, emotional, mental and social. More specifically physical education can have the following benefits:

• Maintaining Sound Physical Fitness
• Overall Confidence Booster
• Awareness about Important Health and Nutrition Issues
• Encouraging Sportsmanship and Team Spirit
• Development of Motor Skills
• Aware of the importance of Hygiene issues
• Enhancing Overall Cognitive Abilities
• Encouraging Budding Sportsmen
• A Stress Buster and Source of Enjoyment
• Promoting Healthy Lifestyle in Adulthood

I hope all students benefit from our expansive programme.

All the best.
