Inspiring Growth through Sport

Girls sport Physical Education makes a rich contribution to a young person’s education due to its development of a pupil’s physical, intellectual, social and emotional abilities.

St. Olave’s PE department is strongly committed to developing all of these areas.Physical Education is a subject that should be enjoyed by all, regardless of ability.

The over-riding intention of the department is that every student should leave St. Olave’s with the desire, knowledge and skills to lead a healthy, active lifestyle

To support this over-arching intent, St. Olave’s Physical Education department has the following aims:

Students will develop their skills, knowledge and understanding in a variety of activities
Students understand how physical activity can help promote a healthy lifestyle
Students will be able to assess their own, and others, performances and provide feedback
Students understand how to work effectively as part of a team and as individuals
Students adhere to the principles of fair play, respect, honesty and etiquette towards team-mates, opposition and officials
Students understand how to exercise safely and to care for equipment
Students appreciate that effort and engagement are as important as performance
Students understand that Physical Education is a subject that should be enjoyed by all, regardless of ability
Students develop the Olavian Characteristics through PESSPA

To facilitate these aims we offer a broad curriculum that gives pupils opportunities in a variety of activities and roles. Supporting this is a rich extra-curricular programme which caters for pupils of all abilities allowing everyone to further develop their performance.
