Over the last 2 weeks it has been great to get back to some practical PE at Bushey Meads. Last week all KS3 students in school took part in some socially distanced PE activities with the Year 7, 8 and 9 groups taking part in Frisbee Golf, footgolf and Tennis golf. It was great to see the students back outside exercising whilst following the strict new guidelines for physical activity in schools. This week the Year 12 CTECH Sport and Physical Activity group were able to take part in a badminton session looking at self and peer assessment as part of their Sports Coaching Unit. We look forward to returning to some sort of normality in September for all students as we continue our commitment to promoting all students to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
