Wilmslow High School

Our Physical Education curriculum is reinforced with an extensive out of school hours learning programme (OSHL) that we refer to as "Sport Xtra". This programme includes a full range of competitive sports such as rugby, netball, soccer, hockey, cricket, tennis, trampolining and athletics. We are rightly proud of the progress made over the last few years in providing an outstanding level opportunity for students of all abilities to experience an activity of their choice. Sports College status has allowed us now to expand the programme to provide something for everyone, regardless of ability. "Boxercise", "Cheerdance", Rhythmic Gymnastics, "Active 1" club and karate are all proving extremely popular with students.

Our ability to build partnerships has been enhanced with the addition of the School Sports Coordinator programme. We work alongside the other secondary and primary schools in the Macclesfield Borough to enhance provision and the quality of Physical Education and Sport.
