Physical Education
Department Vision
Physical Education and sport plays an important role in the development of students at Wilmington. In addition to the physical and health benefits the department encourage students to develop the school’s core ethos of personal excellence, respect, innovation and creativity, determination and equality. We play an influential role in shaping the leaders of tomorrow and ensuring that our students are life ready.
Ours sports facilities are excellent. We have a £1.5million sports centre which includes a fully equipped fitness suite, in addition to vast outdoor playing fields. The school has regularly performed well in county and national competitions in football, rugby and cricket. There are regular training sessions and fixtures in many sports, some are offered at ‘A’ and ‘B’ team level. There are also a range of other extra-curricular clubs ranging from cross country, handball, tennis, table tennis, badminton athletics and squash. There is a full timetable of extra-curricular activities available. All students are welcome to attend these activities.
We feel that competition is important for all of our students and inter-house matches are arranged in all sports, involving all students, and the annual Sports Day is held in term 6.
