Physical Education

I hope when reading this you and your families are in good health. What a strange year! Since lockdown started we hope you have been enjoying the daily workout and well-being activities that have been posted on the school website and Google Classroom. We also hope that you have enjoyed our first ever ‘Virtual Sports Day’. The vision was that this event would once again prove a unifying event for the whole school community, albeit from approximately 900 domestic settings, and once again prove just how effectively sport can bring people together. From the feedback, students and their families at IAG appointments and during phone calls, it sounds like many have thoroughly enjoyed this personal - and household challenge and are looking

forward to seeing which learning community has been victorious in our first ever Virtual Sports Day. Before lockdown we had some fantastic success both during intra and inter school competitions. The PE Champions held a brilliant week where students from different tutor groups competed against one another in a variety of sports including: table tennis, football, netball and water polo, with Rowling coming out on top. Our Year 8 boys football team were crowned league champions beating Upper Shirley High by 6 points. All our other teams competed brilliantly, were a credit to themselves and the school and we hope to see more competitive sport next year. We look forward to presenting them with their medals and the trophy. We currently have an exciting

opportunity for our current Year 8 students which was launched on the Year 8 Google Classroom group you have all been invited to join. We have started the process, slightly early, to recruit our next team of PE Champions. If you are interested in applying, please visit that group for all the details. There will also be a chance to apply when we return to school. This is a fantastic opportunity and we are really proud to see 7 of the 9 students interviewed for the Senior Student Leadership Team being previous PE Champions. Well done all! The PE team wish you a restful and safe summer. We are really looking forward to welcoming you all back and when the situation allows us to, playing sport again!
