Physical activity options

This term we are offering different sports and physical activities to maintain high levels of physical participation accompanied with our student voice of choice of activities. The activities on offer are Gym Suite, Football Trampolining and Table Tennis.

We offer the gym suite all year round due to the limitations of 24 students at one time due to health and safety. We offer Football as this is the time of year that seasons start and an opportunity to join outside club links. We offer rounders because it's the last opportunity for the year for warm weather activities. Trampolining and Table Tennis is also in line with KS3 lessons within being indoor activities for the time of year.
