report
“8 years ago the school was badly under-achieving. Becoming a Sports
College transformed the school and PE has driven quality teaching across
the school. - Simon Barber, Principal
Willenhall School Sports College (Walsall, co-ed , 1600 students)
“Student leadership is the main contributor to whole school
development. It started with the Sport specialism and is driven by PE.
Olympic and Paralympic values are at the heart of school culture”.
“We now have 80% of students achieving 5 A-C GCSE, up from 40% and
it is the specialism that has driven this. PE has averaged 90% pass rate
in GCSE for the last 4 years with all 270 students in the cohort sitting –
it is not an option” Vicki Till, Principal

9. Loughborough University – Lit Review 2010
• As little as 10 minutes of additional organised physical activity in or
outside the classroom implemented into the school day improves
classroom behaviour, and consequently may enhance academic
performance
•Young individuals who participate in organised sport demonstrate
lower rates of anti-social behaviour which may result in less
disaffection from school
•Physical education, physical activity and sport have been shown to
impact positively on the extent to which young people feel connected
to their school; the aspirations of young people; the extent to which
positive social behaviours exist within school; and the development of
leadership and citizenship skills
