PE
Head of Department: Mr Mountain (amountain@clwacademy.co.uk)
At Carlton le Willows all students take part in a broad and balanced range of PE lessons throughout years 7 to 11 as part of the National Curriculum. Our extracurricular options are varied and exciting and we also offer the opportunity to continue PE in the sixth form.
We are very lucky to have fantastic facilities at Carlton le Willows, the latest being the Table Tennis centre, with fields including rugby, football and American football markings, a sports hall, running track, two gymnasiums and a large netball/tennis court area.
KS3
In Years 7 to 9 students will be taught the principle of Physical Education through a range of activities typically within two lessons per week. These include, but are not limited to, football, handball, netball, gymnastics, dance, trampolining, rugby, badminton, basketball, athletics, cricket and rounders. In every year group there is the opportunity to develop skills in physical activities as well as experiencing different roles: performer, coach and official. We will also introduce some theory lessons to educate students in healthy lifestyles within extra single Year 9 lessons.
In Year 9, as part of focus groups, PE offers students the chance to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award.
KS4
In Key Stage 4, students will be given an option of what activities they participate in. They may also be able to complete additional awards eg sports leadership or DofE Silver within curriculum time.
For students who wish to extend their knowledge further, a Cambridge National Sports Science (equivalent to GCSE) option is available. More details can be found by downloading the document below.
KS5
At Sixth Form we deliver a Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Sport. This two-year option has proved successful for several years worth students working towards additional units to increase UCAS points with university applications in mind. This course allows students to sample the wide range of activities and professions that are available in sport.
Students who wish to take up this subject must have a dedicated work ethic, passion for sport and a willingness to engage in the vast range of practical and theoretical topics that make up the course. More information can be found here or by downloading the document below.
PE Learning Journey
Extra Curricular PE
As well as curriculum lessons there are many extra curricular PE clubs and sports teams to be part of and enjoy. Our expert staff have a range of specialties and endeavour to bring a broad set of experiences to all within the school.
We also put on educational visits with our teams such as the Spain football trip, Table Tennis Academy, netball and rugby tournaments.
We have many sports teams and we have been extremely successful in football, netball, table tennis, cross country and badminton, but are always striving for our next opportunity.

PE Uniform
Expectations in PE lessons
*Students will be expected to wear shorts/skort for all indoor activities, the only exception to this rule is for religious observance, and for safety and comfort whilst trampolining.
* Students can wear tracksuit bottoms for outdoor activities during the winter (October until Easter).
* It is crucial for personal hygiene that students have a change of socks for PE. We suggest students wear LONG BLUE SOCKS for outdoor lessons and bring white sport socks for their additional fortnightly lesson.
* BASELAYER BOTTOMS/SPORTS LEGGINGS and BASELAYER TOP provided by uniform stockists are plain navy. Students can wear alternative baselayers/sports lycra leggings, however they need to be PLAIN navy. (No large logos). These can be bought from high street sports shops or on the internet. Students are not permitted to wear ‘everyday’ leggings under any circumstance.
On the grounds of Health and Safety we ask:
- All students to tie their hair up for practical PE lessons
- A note from parents is required if a student is unable to participate in a PE lesson. Students must still bring PE clothing so they can still access the curriculum (e.g. an officiating or coach role). Students who cannot join in practically will remain with the class, so a change of clothes is essential if the weather is poor and learning is taking place outside
- A letter from a GP or consultant must be provided if a student is to be excused for a sustained period of time
- Students cannot wear jewellery for PE, that includes earrings taped up as per whole school policy
Students cannot wear acrylic nails as per whole school policy.

During PE lessons pupils will perform a number of different activities in different venues, some indoor and some outdoors. We understand that buying specific footwear for each venue is costly. We therefore allow Astroturf type trainers in ALL locations both in and out with the exception of the 3G artificial football pitch, these can be any colour/pattern, branded or non-branded.
To access the 3G regardless of the activity, pupils will need to use plastic studded footwear recommended by the manufacturer as highlighted in the attached link
