PE Lessons Across the Robert Clack Sites
On rare occasions, where relevant, students may complete PE lessons on a Robert Clack site other than the one they are based at. This is to enable all students to have access to the best facilities and curriculum opportunities. This may involve walking from Green Lane to Gosfield Road or vice versa.
To ensure this takes place safely, a risk assessment has been completed and shared with all teachers.
For practical purposes, if a student finishes the school day on a site other than the one they are based at, they will be dismissed from that site. This will maximise the lesson time available.

What if you cannot take an active part in the lessons?
If you are unfit to take part in your normal lesson, you must still bring your full PE kit, as you will be expected to take part in an alternative activity (e.g. refereeing, coaching, assisting), or you may be able to participate in a different sport. Be prepared to be indoors or outdoors.
On these occasions, you must bring a note addressed to your PE teacher requesting to be excused from the practical part of the lesson. Do not email or call the school office. If it is likely that you will miss more than two consecutive lessons, you will be asked to provide a doctor’s note. Please note: we do not accept having a cold or being on your menstrual cycle as an excuse to miss a lesson.
Failure to follow these school procedures will result in a detention.
