Sports College Status.
Devizes School became a specialised Sports College in September 2004. In our fourth year, Sport remains our main specialism but in addition ICT became our second target setting subject.
Official opening of the Sports College
The vision of sports colleges across the country is to raise standards of achievement in physical education and sport for all their students across the ability range leading to whole school improvement. We aim to be the regional focal point for promoting excellence in physical education and community sport, extending links between families of schools, spots bodies and communities, sharing resources, developing and spreading good practice, helping to provide a structure through which young people can progress to careers in sport and PE. Sports Colleges increase participation in PE and sport for all pre and post 16 year olds and develop the potential of talented practitioners.
Over the past three years, since designation we have made much progress towards this vision. All students in both KS3 & KS4 now take part in 2 hours of PE. The PE curriculum has undergone many changes with the student voice as a major driving force for changes.
