The P.E curriculum at Deenway consists of Sports & Athletics and Natural Movement. It is one of the truly very special aspects of a Deenway education.

The Sports & Athletics programme culminates in an Annual Inter-House Athletic games event where pupils compete in individual and team athletic events, as well as Archery and Grappling to win points for their House and for themselves.

• Sports can further be divided into two:
  • Games: These consist of team and individual games such as football, basketball, netball, tennis, dodgeball etc. These are enjoyed by pupils through the Autumn and Spring Terms using local facilities such as Reading University's Sports Park.
  • Sacred Sports: these are principally archery, wrestling/grappling (BJJ) and martial arts. These are introduced to pupils in special sessions during the year and pupils are encouraged to continue their studies of these after school hours at Deenway Dojo.
• Athletics consists of track and field events such as track races (100m, 1500m etc), cycling, long jump, high jump and others. 

Deenway is proud to be the first UK school to officially incorporate Erwan Le Corre's MovNat natural movement training into its physical education curriculum. The school has invested in hosting the UK's only MovNat licensed facility (MovNat UK) on its grounds and also hosts speciality MovNat training and certification events for adults.
