Issues of personal health, sexual health, disease and its prevention are dealt with through science and PSRVE programmes..

Fitness Testing

All students undergo a range of fit tests every year. This starts in primary schools and is continued and developed in the Sports College. These tests look at the full fitness range with the information kept by the students on the fit pages in their planners. This information is used to help direct students into appropriate activities and for them to keep a record of their levels and fitness, with aerobic fitness a good indicator of the levels of regular exercise being taken. Results are used to encourage regular exercise. A data base health and fitness programme is currently being developed.

Exercise in the Curriculum

Alongside fitness being delivered as in integral part of each module, specific fitness and exercise modules are delivered encouraging a positive attitude to exercise. Students are introduced to a range of training methods, by the end of Year 10 all students will have completed induction in the use of the fitness suite and will have planned an appropriate training programme. Students are encouraged to participate in long slow distance activities such as cross country, orienteering, cycling and swimming.
