Ian Wright's Fitter Schools Challenge 2008

The school have entered the 'Ian Wright's Fitter Schools Challenge 2008'.  Every pupil will take part in three challenges within their PE lessons (Skipping, Standing Long Jump and Throw and Catch). The challenges will be completed by the end of March and then again in the middle of June. The school with the most improvement in the challenges will win sports equipment. The PE department encourage all pupils to stay fit and healthy outside of school PE lessons by joining in the after school clubs, using a local leisure facility or joining a local sports club. We hope this challenge will be enjoyable and that pupils will try and improve on their initial attempts.
