PE and Games Kit Policy

"Fit for school, fit for sport"

The PE department runs a "fit for school, fit for sport" policy.  This is designed to:

• Increase participation, physically and cognitively
• Make kit requirements simple
• Maximise teaching and learning

The department considers that is a pupil is fit for school he is fit for sport.  Many injuries and illnesses mean that it is impossible to take a full active part in lessons but the teacher in charge of the lesson will expect the pupil to change for the lesson and will find suitable activities for him to do; this could include coaching, umpiring / refereeing, taking part with limited movement or working with a different group on an appropriate activity.  An extreme example would be broken limbs - boys can exercise other parts of their body without causing additional stress or damage.

The only exception to this policy is a note from a doctor; however, the PE staff will make decisions based on their professional judgement, experience and individual circumstances. Please contact the Director of Sport if you require clarification or to discuss individual cases.
