The Physical Education (PE) Department
Mr J Skinner is our Head of PE.
Miss V Merrick is our full-time PE Teacher.
Through a broad, balanced and comprehensive programme of physical activities and learning experiences, the P.E. department at Oldfields aims to contribute and complement the aims of the school by providing every student with an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential.
We aim to provide an enjoyable, safe, purposeful and challenging programme in order to develop physical and social skills and personal confidence to the benefit of every student, the school and the wider community.
Extra – curricular activities play a vital role in any good school and exercise a tremendous influence on the general attitude and well-being of students who participate. The school regularly provides opportunities for students to develop their talent and interests in clubs and societies. We hope parents will encourage their children to take full advantage of the opportunities which are offered.
We have an excellent reputation for school sport and have many successful teams in local and regional competitions. Many students have the opportunity to develop their talent through clubs and practices within school and also through specialised coaching in external clubs, with whom we have links. We also train a number of Year 8 sports leaders who help lead activities and clubs. This gives these students the opportunity to gain valuable leadership experiences which will help them develop as they get older and move onto High School.
