Physical Education

The P.E. Department at Welland Park Academy is an exciting, progressive department, very popular with students in all five years and the school has a reputation for excellence in sport and physical education. Our sporting ethos is to provide pupils with worthwhile and educative experiences in as many activities as possible, in the hope that they will pursue any interests through participation outside school and into later life. The department is also heavily committed to extra-curricular PE whether it is through interform competitions, lunchtime & after school clubs, team practices or school fixtures. The department are keen to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to experience competitive sport and we are always looking to improve and extend the range of opportunities we offer.
