About the Department
The Redden Court PE department endeavours to deliver a wide curricular and extra curricular programme to allow students to learn and progress in a number of different sports and activities. As well as the core PE programme, students in KS4 will have the opportunity to study GCSE PE and VCert Health and Fitness. The department consists of six experienced teachers (three male and three female) who work closely to deliver core and credited PE lessons, an extensive extra curricular programme and many trips, both in the UK and overseas.

Within the last ten years the department has had lots of extra curricular success, both on the boys and girls side. We have had many sports teams crowned champions in Havering, Essex, East London and at a Regional and National Level. The expectation of the department is that students work hard both in lessons and extra curricular clubs in order to improve their own and their teams performances and be the best sportsperson they can possibly be.

In 2019 we saw the start of the Redden Court Sports Academy (RCSA). The academy started alongside our Sporting Aptitude programme, where the school can select up to 10% of the intake based on a student's sporting aptitude.

How can learning progress beyond the classroom?
How can learning progress beyond the classroom?
The opportunities within PE at Redden Court are endless. A student’s learning doesn’t stop when they leave the PE lesson due to the amount of clubs, fixtures, trips and tours that are available to them. The extra curricular activities are extensive and broad and there isn’t a school sport which we don’t offer before, during or after school.
