Specialist Sports College

Philosophy

We believe that involvement in sports and activites is valuable in developing important qualities of teamwork, self-confidence and leadership. The focus of the college is on enjoyment and participation for our students and we provide an extensive range of activites to appeal to all ages and abilities.

As a Specialist Sports College we aim to raise standards in all aspects of the curriculum by developing these ideas. All students enjoy at least two hours of PE every week. Facilites at Chasetown are excellent and include student use of our brand new sports hall.
