The Team

Participation in sports activities at Bridlington School forms a vital part of our well-being curriculum and has been vital to ensuring that we allow young people to develop physically and mentally to support their health and well-being. Students enjoy studying PE and Sport throughout the three key stages of their development and it is our intention to increase the numbers of students who choose to continue to study sport with us at Level 3 in the sixth form.

The department benefits from 3 indoor areas and excellent outdoor spaces to deliver sports such as hockey, football, rugby and orienteering. The team have just secured a £20,000 grant to improve the delivery of gymnastics, hockey, volleyball and fitness. This is an exciting time as we embark upon a stronger, more developed relationship with our local sports clubs, parents/carers and community. We are passionate about raising aspirations, confidence and self-esteem through the channel of sport and take every opportunity to build and develop character in our students. Extra-curricular clubs are well attended and a lot of our students play sport for clubs outside of school. We have an excellent sports TA who is extremely enthusiastic and an integral part of our team. Our team collaborate well together, are extremely supportive of each other and bring about some fantastic achievements together. The environment we work in is friendly and vibrant and offers an excellent surrounding to deliver high quality teaching.
