Thanks to all parents for attending Y11 STCE some purposeful discussions for our fantastic GCSE PE students 👍

For PE on Wednesday all Y9 need kit as normal. Year 10 Y Band don’t need kit as their lesson is classroom based due to lateral flow test. Your tutor will tell you which room to report to after break.

On Tuesday y7 will do one hour practical and one hour classroom based so should come to school in their kit as normal and bring their uniform to get changed into. Y11 X band will not being doing practical p5 so do not need kit. All other lessons as ‘normal’ on Tuesday.

Y8 will be doing some practical PE on Monday. 8y to come to school in kit and 8x will go home in kit as normal. Most will be outdoors so ensure appropriate kit with training shoes. We are looking forward to seeing you all 💪🏻

For Thursday and Friday PE all timetabled lessons will be practical and predominantly outdoor so please bring appropriate kit. Exemptions due to second round of testing are 11y p5 Thursday and 10x p1 Friday. No kit required for either of these lessons. Thank you

@katebowe Tuesday Y11 only (other than key worker groups). Wednesday Y10 only. We are conscientious of how much screen time these year groups in particular have had so we have decided to do something outdoors with them. Apologies for the mixed message. Team PE can’t for it 💪🏻

Wednesday PE plan- Y9 will be a classroom based lesson. Y10 will be doing outdoor PE. Boys will be on the field so need football boots or old trainers. Girls and mixed groups need trainers.

All Y11 require outdoor PE kit for Tuesday. Boys classes need football boots or old trainers as lesson will be on the field. Girls and mixed classes will be on either blue Astro or netball courts.

We are looking forward to seeing all our students back in the Academy this week. We will keep you updated re PE activities and kit requirements.

The Academy is looking to appoint a teacher of Physical Education to start in September 2021. For more information, and to apply please click here: tinyurl.com/z9ykqrs6

Did You know? Research shows that active pupils are happier and more confident than those who are inactive. We have teamed up with @Sport_England in a project which aims to reinforce the role that PE, sport & physical activity has, especially in the current challenging context.
