The curriculum in year 7 and 8 gives each boy the opportunity to try out a variety of different sports while developing the Wilson's core concept skills. The year starts and ends with the Wilson's fitness test – including Speed, Co-ordination, Flexibility, Cardio-vascular fitness and Power. We use this baseline assessment to monitor progress across the different disciplines from year 7 to year 10.

The curriculum sports are taught in six/seven week blocks including Football, Rugby, Basketball, Badminton, Table-Tennis, Cricket, Futsal, Volleyball, Cross-Country and Athletics. House competitions are an integral part of the sports department. The competitions are differentiated within each class and encompass various sports. PE curriculum lessons are taught to years 7 & 8 in their house classes 1 hour a week. Games afternoons are taught in smaller, differentiated groups for 1 to 1½ hours a week.

The Games afternoons in years 9, 10 and 11 give the pupils the option to choose their journey. The autumn and spring term options include Football, Rugby, Basketball, Badminton, Table-Tennis, Weight gym, Tennis, Squash. The Summer options include Cricket, Athletics, Tennis, Squash, Softball, Badminton, Cross-Country and Volleyball. In PE lessons the year group is divided into two and further options are given; Fitness – Weight/Circuit/Interval, Volleyball, Futsal, Cricket indoor nets, Table-Tennis, Handball and Softball. Each year continues to start and end with the fitness tests to monitor fitness levels and progress. House competitions continue to be an integral part of the sports department, which are differentiated within each class and encompassing various sports.

GCSE PE is taught in year 9, 10 and 11. The examination board is Edexcel. The specification is split over 3 years incorporating practical activities to teach the theory where possible. Each week the course delivers one lesson of theory and a further practical lesson. The focus for practical lessons changes every half-term. The weighting for the practical and theory is 40% practical and 60% theory. The theory paper is split into two papers (paper one – 1 hour 15 minutes, paper two - 1 hour 45 minutes) to be taken at the end of Year 11. The practical is assessed on each pupil's three best performed sporting disciplines from a large selection of sports. See this link for more detailed information about the GCSE PE course content.
