Welcome to PE
Physical Education at The Dearne High School is taught by 6 full time members of staff and so is regarded as an important subject. It is not simply about 'letting off steam', but a subject that can educate a child through a variety of physical activities.
Research has shown that young people today are becoming increasingly unfit, overweight and far more likely to get degenerative diseases in adult life because of their inactivity as children.
Poor diet, endless hours in front of the television or home computer and being transported around by car, bus and train, all underline the necessity for regular physical activity in schools.
By maintaining a basic level of fitness and good health, the children would not only gain huge physical benefits, but also learn important social skills as individuals and as a part of a team. They learn tolerance, co-operation, how to accept and hold responsibility and how to win and lose gracefully, to name a few.
