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 on. This is to enable all students to have access to the best facilities and curriculum opportunities. This will mean walking from Green Lane to Gosfield Road or vice versa. 


For this to take 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 on, they will be dismissed from site, this will maximise 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 that you be excused from the practical part of the lesson do not e-mail 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 except 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. 



  • Key Stage 3

    Pupils take part in three lessons of physical education per week. This adheres to the national requirement of all 11-14 year olds accessing a minimum of two hours of physical education per week. There are also extensive opportunities for students to participate in extra-curricular sport before school, at lunchtime, after school and at weekends.


    We deliver a winter programme that is traditionally games based that helps develop skills such as outwitting opponents, defining roles within team games and moreover a duty of care within a team setting where cohesion and communication are paramount to success. In the winter term there are also opportunities to develop physical attributes such as cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, strength and speed along with other important components of fitness.


    In the summer term pupils are taught a wide range of athletics disciplines with an equal opportunity to develop in both track and field events. Striking and fielding also plays an integral part in the summer term and allows both team and individual skills to be developed accordingly.


    Pupils will not gain a qualification during key stage three. The skills and knowledge they acquire act as a pathway to success if they decide to access a qualification in PE at key stage 4 or 5.
