Introduction

PE at Silverdale means 'Outstanding Achievement for All'. Whether this means setting a personal best, learning a new skill or representing the school at national level, PE at Silverdale means fulfilling potential and experiencing the appropriate challenge so all of our students can make high levels of progress. Our students aren’t restricted by their age group. They experience the appropriate level of challenge that is most suited to them and their ability. Practically, this might mean starting with basic, core skills and rules, all the way up to advanced tactical application of more complex techniques.

We are proud of the large numbers of students that go onto choose GCSE and A-level PE and our key stage 4 and key stage 5 provision allows students to achieve fantastic outcomes with 40% of our GCSE PE students achieving a grade 9 over the last 5 years.

The work we do at key stages 3, 4 and 5 is designed to ensure all of our students are prepared to maintain healthy, active lifestyles that support physical, social and mental health during and beyond education. We also give students the opportunity to experience competitive sport and feel proud to wear Silverdale colours in representative teams. These achievements are celebrated in events like our Sports Awards Evening which is always one of the highlights on the Silverdale calendar. We are incredibly ambitious for our students and the PE journey at Silverdale has the power to open the gateway to further education and careers in the world in sport and exercise.
