The changes in the weather will have obvious effects on PE provision. Where possible we will continue to deliver our normal curriculum and students will still go outside in cold weather if the external facilities are safe and usable. In this situation students should ensure they bring skin type tops to wear and if needed gloves to keep warm. Where the facilities are unplayable in the case of snow all students should remember trainers and indoor kit. We will always try to ensure that ALL practical PE lessons take place in some format.

The new Y10 Sports Leaders group started their training on Friday 18th January and already I have been really impressed by their maturity, responsibility and enthusiasm for Sports Leadership. They are working towards the Level 1 qualification and we look forward to seeing them progress. Best of luck to Jess B, Georgia B, Bette-Louise C, Aaron D, Maisie H, Andrea H, Zak K, Charlie M, Jay M, Skye N, Jake N-A, Zoe P, George R, Milee T, Madunan U.

Comment : The boys faced a strong Bushey Academy team in the first match of the season but after a disappointing first quarter showed much improvement on defence in the remaining quarters.

Comment : This was the teams first basketball game of the year, which saw them play local rivals Bushey Academy. The first quarter started well and saw the boys take a healthy lead thanks to some clinical shooting and some excellent half-court defending. The second and third quarter again showed dominance in all aspects of the court, creating some excellent opportunities to score. The fourth quarter say the opposition apply a lot of pressure on our defence. However the team stood strong and held on for the win in what turned out to be a close game.

Comment: Monday saw the year 8 basketball team play their second game of the year against a well organised Croxley Danes side. In the first quarter both teams created very few clear scoring opportunities but defended resolutely. The second quarter saw a very similar pattern of play as again few clear chances were created but both defenses stood strong. However the third and fourth quarter produced some excellent basketball from the team, producing plenty of clear scoring opportunities which resulted in the team coming out victorious again. A great start to the year for the team with plenty of things to keep improving on.

Comment: This was the teams first ever basketball fixture which saw us travel to Rickmansworth School. The boys delivered a strong performance in the first three quarters which saw them enter the last quarter with a 10-2 lead. Rickmansworth came out strong for the final quarter and clinched a draw, which was a fair result for both teams overall. It was great to see so many happy faces both during and after the fixture. The boys represented themselves and the school exceptionally and are all looking forward to the next fixture.
