 High on the list of the new headmaster [[Lord Morris|Marc Morris']] priorities, P.E. is taking a front line in producing [[well rounded individuals]] of all those who enter the school's gates, neglecting government targets to make students into less-round individuals by 2012. Both staff and students are encouraged to take part in extra-curricular sporting events, as diverse as Teacher Sports Day in the summer of 2005 and many inter-form competitions. The school also has a number of UK international sports players, both past and present students. Kristin Bromley, the Olympian Skeleton Bob star is perhaps the most high flying current sportsman who is currently the 2008 world champion, but is being pursued closely by Rachel Henry, an England U21 netball international, and David Groom, on the UK Judo team. [[Joe Hodgson]] is the first choice goalkeeper for the GB-22 handball team.

 ==Places to Play==
 ===[[Top Field|Field]]===
-The PE department is in charge of the ever expanding sports facilities around the school. The Glen Playing Fields are a number of minutes east from the school, and used for interschool football competitions, and rarely see the boots of less sporting students. The [[Top Field|top field]] of the school is on a slope, and thus is the perfect site for a 200m running track. It also has the school's long jump and triple jump area, and an area of grass within the track, suitable for javelin throwing and rugby playing.

-The old lower field, shadowed by a bank of trees, is now the host of a fenced in [[Astroturf|astro-turf]] area, large enough for a full sized game of [[hockey]], and marked with numerous other courts for netball, 5-a-side [[football]], and others. Being totally open, it gets very cold in the winter months, but due to the until recently very limited indoor sports facilities, was still where most boys' PE lessons took place during colder months, in wind, rain, hail, or scorching sun. Generations of boys remember getting back into the changing rooms and defrosting their hands on the single radiator, and having great trouble with buttons.

 At the moment the top field is out of bounds in an effort to build [[Waterfoot Primary]] in its place.
 ===[[Gym]]===
-The main reason for this ongoing pain was the PE staff's decision that cold sport is better than no sport, which itself was required by the fact that more often than not it is cold in [[Rossendale]], and the old [[Gym]] (now converted into a [[Super Common Room|Sixth Form study area and common room]]) was far too small for the classes of 60-90 taking games at any one time.

-The PE facilities were added to by the £1m [[New Sports Hall]] in 2005, with extra classrooms, a fitness studio and dance studio, in addition to a large indoor (but nonetheless badly heated) area with basketball hoops, a sprung floor, and cricket nets.

 If you are a girl, you get roughly 3 lessons of [[badminton]], 3 lessons of [[rounders]], a few [[dance]] lessons per year. The rest of the time is dedicated totally to [[Netball]] and [[Hockey]], except for the one lesson per year when the top field is dry, and you are forced to run 800m. If you are a boy there is a lot more range of sports, doing two different sports every half term. It is pretty mixed generally, but do football whenever the teachers are away, or simply can't be bothered to teach.
-==Escaping PE==
+==Escaping P.E.==
-For many years it was easy to get out of PE in the later years by going on Community Service. This meant not having to do PE for 6 months whilst you visited an elderly person in [[Waterfoot]], did their shopping and chatted about rubbish... This, of course, a much better way of spending an hour a week and I think it's more likely to lead to a more well rounded person... My memories of PE were quite disturbing and usually include being hit rather hard around the ankles with a hockey stick.

 ==Grading system==
 If you are 'lucky' enough to be on a school team (especially netball) you get an A for effort and an A for attainment on every report. If you don't belong to a school team your grade becomes a C for Effort and a C for attainment.
