Physical Education

The aim of PE at Bishop Challoner is to provide an outstanding provision of sport and physical activity to pupils of all abilities, cultivating a life-long love and participation in activity.

Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9)

All students participate in a wide range of individual and team sports, including football, hockey, cross country, athletics, netball, cricket and rounders. There are many opportunities to represent the school at local, regional and national competitions. We are fortunate to have access to Bromley's best sporting facilities, which provide an ideal teaching environment for our students. Students are expected to participate in house sporting competitions throughout the year.

GCSE (Years 10 & 11)

In this wide ranging course, candidates have the opportunity to study the human body and movement as well as the socio-cultural influences and well-being in physical activity and sport. Students will sit two papers at the end of Year 11.

The practical component is worth 40% and is made up of three sports. One in a team activity, one in an individual activity and a third in either a team or in an individual activity. This can include sports that you take part in outside of school. It also includes a written analysis and evaluation of performance.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan
