The intention of the Physical Education curriculum at Weald of Kent Grammar School is to develop a passion for physical activity and sport. We want our students to understand how exercise contributes to a healthy, active lifestyle and what opportunities are available to them locally. We believe the study of PE contributes to our students communication and teamwork skills as well as providing them with physical challenge.  It is a subject which equips the individual with a variety of transferable skills such as resilience, and helps to prepare our young people for the next stage in their lives.
