Over a 1/3rd of Year 7 at their “Learn to Train” lunch club today! Getting moving, learning how to use a basic programme and through progressions 🙌💪

🎄Term ✅ Just under 2000 sessions done, a ton of progress made and well done to these students who are the trainers of the term! Wishing everyone a restful Christmas break and lots of energy in the new year!

🎄Yearly LIFTmas tradition for the brave! They wanted the full version so the rounds went 1, 1-2, 1-2-3 etc etc as it built out 🥵Two survivors after nearly an hour to complete 🫠🎄

@ShskPE Andddd she’s completed it in a half term! The unit has a 300kg limit and Georgie pulled 311kg! Amazing learning & gain curve! @SHSKPhysics if you need a demo on producing force I’ve got someone for you…

@ShskPE Step aside Miss Barras! Georgie is back with a HUGE 278kg pull 🙌

The 200kg barrier has been broken already! It’s only week 2 but sports captain Georgie is leading the way on the isometric deadlift with 208kg 💪 Super impressive show of strength @ShskPE

Open day ‘23! Fantastic morning showing what we do and the year 7’s were coached fantastically by our sport scholars through the activities. Plank hand tennis being a favourite challenge 🫱🎾

We are delighted to announce the publication of the Physical Literacy Consensus Statement for England! 📢 It's been developed to facilitate a shared understanding of physical literacy for those working in the sport, education, physical activity, health and youth sectors.

A key takeaway from this evening: whether playing in #sport to leading a #career in sport, every woman's journey is different - so follow your passions and grab every opportunity. Find out how St Helen's is supporting young athletes: shsk.org.uk/beyond/sport/

@athleticevouk @ShskPE Great bit of kit! We tried a cheap crane scale last year to trial the set up and got the Tindeq this year. Super easy & the visual on the app adds a huge amount!

@SHSKAthleticDev @ShskPE We use Tindeq too. Love how easy it is!
