The number of students attending clubs is so big now that our young people are having to be turned away at the door. The badminton club at lunch and after school has grown to the point students are running to the sports hall to ensure they get a court. Tuesday after school Badminton sessions are so competitive, we are getting teachers attending to challenge our students. There has been the introduction of the girl’s rugby session during core PE which has taken off and the students are ready to get muddy and physical on grass. A big thank you to Lea Rowing Club for the introduction of rowing they now offer us. We have been given the opportunity to award 6 student’s full scholarships that will enable them to build the skills and talent they will need to take rowing on for future opportunities. This will lead to our students being taken to the rowing club to take part in session on the canal.  Handball has now taken over in popularity from football, games are getting very intense and played to a very high standard. The teacher themselves now play with the students to raise the levels of all. We as a school are now playing other schools in competitive games and are coming out winners due to the commitment and drive of our students. Period 0, lunch and 6 have been going for a while with students attending GCSE clubs. This is an opportunity for our students to increase practical skills and let off steam. The year 7 football team is going from strength to strength with them playing fixtures in preparation for next season. The dedication of our students to their sports and the enthusiasm they show to take part in any club offered to them is what makes us do what we do for them.
