Hi and welcome to our 1^st Sports Blog,

As ever we have had a busy spring and summer term in the PE department with a huge number of activities running both in school and out of school time.

 As well as core lessons, we have managed to get our Year 11 students successfully through their Btec Sport syllabus and our Year 10 students are currently matching expectations and are working extremely hard to complete coursework before the summer term deadline. Keep up the hard work!

 This term has also seen over 65 Year 11 students complete their Level 1 award in Sports Leadership. From our close partnership with Burnt Tree Primary school  we have been able to use their time and year 5 & 6 students which has helped our own students to complete assessment sessions successfully. Some of our younger students have also been showing off their leadership skills by assisting with the organisation and running of both our own activities and Primary activities as part of the sports captains role they play within the academy.

 Both the Primary and Secondary Gym and Dance festivals that we organised in Spring were a great success with performers from as young as 4 years old up to our 6^th form students who are 17. All festivals were sold out and visitors to the shows enjoyed performances by our youngsters immensely. The PE department are enjoying a well-earned mini break before they attempt to organise the next festivals. As well as our gym and dance festivals a number of our students have worked closely with our primary school students performing at the Gymnastics spectacular that is run annually as well.

 As well as activities in school time, the department have been running various clubs out of school hours that have enabled the academy to have representation at a number of sports events against other schools around the local area. A number of our students have represented the academy at fixtures including; Cricket, Athletics, Rounders, Football, Basketball and Rugby.

 There is still time to come and play your part. If you enjoy staying active or just want to get involved then the PE department after school clubs are as follows;

 Clubs Run from 3pm - 4pm - All are Weclome!
