Physical Education
The PE department aim to compliment and contribute to the school’s aims by providing every pupil with an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential. At Clayton Hall we offer a vast range of extra-curricular activities as we are especially keen to develop pupil’s interests in sport.

Key Stage 3
Some of the sports activities that may be offered at KS3 include:
| Football | Netball | Rugby |
| Hockey | Badminton | Table Tennis |
| Tennis | Athletics | Rounders |
| Cricket | Gymnastics | Trampolining |
| Dance | Handball | Basketball |
| Volleyball | Orienteering | Mountain Biking |
| Health and Fitness | Problem Solving | Free Running |
During assessment the students will be evaluated on their abilities to acquire and develop skills, select and apply skills, use tactics and compositional ideas, evaluate and improve their performance, acquire knowledge and understanding of health and fitness.
Both the class teacher and pupil are actively involved in their own and others’ assessment. Pupils are aware of what is needed to achieve a specific level and what is needed to improve through sport specific level descriptors. Pupils should aim to achieve a minimum of level 5 by the end of Key Stage 3.
Key Stage 4
Pupils at KS4 participate in 4 lessons of Physical Education per two week cycle. There are opportunities in KS4 to have a more option based programme which may include some mixed sex groups. As well as having the opportunity to revisit some of the sports learnt in KS3, optional activities such as the climbing wall are available to KS4.
