Our students respond to PE lessons very positively and enjoy using the full range of resources. All students up to 16 receive two hours of Physical Education a week, in single hour blocks. Alongside these core hours, at key stage four we offer GCSE PE and BTEC PE which we have previously experienced great success in. At key stage five we offer Level 3 Cambridge Technical in sport and physical activity that can either be studied at extended certificate, diploma or extended diploma level. We will be commencing our second year as an established football academy in partnership with Luton Town FC. Overall, physical education is well established and respected within the academy.

We have an excellent fitness suite available for staff and student use, a full-size sports hall, dance studio, a full sized 3g Astroturf, outdoor basketball court area and field with a rugby and football pitch in the winter and 200m track and rounders pitches in the summer.
