The Physical Education Department aims to introduce pupils to a wide variety of physical activities ensuring that every child enjoys and participates in high quality physical education and school sport. 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.  

Each year a variety of festivals are organised at King Edward VI from circus skills to cricket for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils to attend.  Many Primary Schools are regularly involved, including All Saints Ranton, Castlechurch, Church Eaton, Doxey, Haughton St Giles, Gnosall St Lawrence, St Paul’s and Woodseaves. The festivals are led by pupils in years 7-13 at King Edward VI. These Sports Leaders also visit the Primary Schools to organise events and activities.  Teachers from the PE Department are also visit our partner Primary Schools in an attempt to support our colleagues. 

​King Edward VI offers an extensive extra-curricular programme. Clubs are available for most activities and participation levels are high. Fixtures and competitions are a regular feature of the extra-curricular programme and King Edward's has been very successful in recent years.
