During this continued warm weather please remember to bring extra water to school. Hydration is important.

Really super to welcome back such enthusiastic students. Well done Highdown! Please remember to wear your PE kit to school on the day you have PE.

Congratulations to all Year 13 PE students receiving grades today. Overall grades are outstanding and richly deserved.

Wishing everyone a safe and active summer holiday.

A win in Fridays cycle challenge helped finish the week on a positive note. M.E. proved too strong through the week winning the online fixture 4-1. Thank you all who took part. A great fun way to keep active! Congrats to M.E. We look forward too real fixtures when appropriate.

There are still a few minutes left to complete the plank challenge and submit. Your score could be the one that makes the difference!

LA in Year 9 has submitted a great score. 603 seconds for a plank hold. That is over 10 minutes!! Can you beat that? If not what is your best score!? Don’t forget to submit.

Another win for CE. This means today is massive!! The plank challenge. Get involved!

JB in Year 8 completed 81 squats in 60 seconds!! Great score. There is still time for you to enter. Do it now!!

Year 10 GCSE PE students who were in school today asked to finish the lesson with the squats challenge!! Have you done yours yet? Don’t forget to submit.

Squats challenge today. Details on SMHK. Have a couple of attempts and submit your best score! Was it easier in the morning or afternoon?

Calling all Highdowners! Yesterday numbers dropped. CE took a 1-0 lead. Can you get involved in the challenge today!? Ask a family member (or the whole family) contact a friend (or friends) contact someone from your tutor group (or as many people as you can for your tutor group)

Mr Burnell hasn’t stopped today!! He’s just logged ANOTHER 7km!! He’s trying to catch up with Tom!

Wow! Tom R in Year 12 just did 25.1 km. He is a cross country runner!!
