The Department strives to ensure that every child realises their sporting potential regardless of age, gender or ability.
The Physical Education Department is staffed by a number of well-qualified specialist teachers who have a strong commitment to the school, both in curricular and extra-curricular time.
The facilities of the school are excellent and include, two soccer pitches, a rugby pitch, a cricket wicket, ten tennis courts, seven netball courts, a gymnasium and a large sports hall. A number of off-site facilities are also used, include Rowley Park Stadium and Stafford Leisure Centre.
