PE: ‘OUTSTANDING’ -<br />
IT’S OFFICIAL!<br />
Earlier this term the PE department were visited by OFSTED. This is always a difficult time for staff and students alike but the<br />
pressure is really on when you have been designated a Sports College. The PE department worked their socks off and clearly<br />
impressed the OFSTED inspector as the department was deemed ‘outstanding’ in terms of the teaching and learning and facilities,<br />
clubs and activities available to students - well, we’d expect nothing less!<br />
After the stressful few days PE celebrated their success with a hard earned rest. Congratulations to the department and the staff<br />
and students who were observed and who answered questions during the inspection.<br />
YOUNG APPRENTICES GET STUCK IN!<br />
Cohort 6 Young Apprentice judged <strong>Sunderland</strong>’s first primary school<br />
gymnastic competition, a Level 1 qualification allowing them to judge a<br />
range of events scoring each individual competitor. The competition was<br />
a great success, with the apprentices gaining many accolades. Yvonne<br />
Setchel, competition manager said, “Without the apprentices the event<br />
could not have ran, they were a credit to their school.”<br />
Cohort 5 Young Apprentice helped to organise and run a rugby event for<br />
Y6 pupils from our feeder primary schools. The Apprentices completed a<br />
tag rugby refereeing award prior to the day, allowing them to referee the<br />
tag rugby games. They set up pitches, organised fixtures and compiled<br />
results. The event was a great success with all the primary schools fully<br />
enjoying the day.<br />
Cohort 6 Young Apprentices supported Mill Hill’s challenge to get all<br />
pupils and staff to run a mile in aid of Sports relief. The apprentices ran<br />
with the primary school pupils, helping them by giving support and telling<br />
jokes. They also helped pupils in their warm-ups prior to the run.<br />
