Physical Education

On Tuesday 10th September we held our fifth Football Enrichment Day. It was fully attended and the students had a fantastic time. This day is designed to help prepare our students for participation in the Southampton Schools’ Football Girls and Boys League. The day consisted of practice drills to introduce and develop key skills necessary for successful play, workshops to develop understanding of key rules, strategies and tactics and a tournament. All ably assisted by our PE Champions.

As a result, we have had a fantastic start to the football season. Year 7 are currently third in the league with a fantastic victory against Chamberlayne. Year 8 are currently top of division 2 with three wins and a draw from their 4 games and Year 10 finished the league in third position. The KS3 and KS4 girls thoroughly enjoyed intra-school competitions. We look forward to seeing if we can maintain our excellent start when fixtures recommence in February.

Our new team of PE Champions (shown below) have been instrumental in providing students with a positive and motivating experience at all after school and lunch time clubs. They will host their first events of the year, week beginning 9th December which will see all Year 7, 8 and 9 students compete for their tutor groups in a dodgeball, water polo, table tennis and football tournament. We wish all the competitors the very best of luck! We look forward to bringing you the results.

Rugby With another season beginning it has been amazing to see students who have not played rugby before, play their first competitive games for Regents Park Community College. The Year 7 and 8 Enrichment Day held on Wednesday 18th September was a huge success with girls and boys taking part. Students spent the morning at Millbrook Rugby Club, learning the art of tackling and creating space on a rugby field. Suffice to say all had smiles and were covered in mud! Unfortunately all tournaments have been cancelled due to adverse weather but we look forward to putting skills to the test in the near future.
