IMPORTANT PE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CLASS 11

We recognise the need to offer opportunities for our students to maintain high levels of health and fitness at this challenging time. In order to meet all Government regulations, we kindly ask you to support us and ask your son/daughter to make one of the following choices for Monday afternoon PE lessons.

1. Stay in school for a supervised study session.

2. Go home at lunchtime and join the online lesson from home to participate in physical activity.

3. Work with a private coach to participate in an individual activity (tennis/fitness/horse riding etc). Please email us in advance so that we can authorise this request. Unfortunately group activities are not possible as these do not meet the current regulations.

In addition to the Monday afternoon lesson, please encourage your son/daughter to stay active and participate in the 'ISM in the great outdoors' fitness challenge happening throughout the month of February (please see The Pulse for details). We also encourage all students to participate in the ISM/King's strongest student competition happening next week.

Thanks again for your continued support.
