PE News! Dec 2018

What a fantastic and busy time this term has been for our newly established PE Department. We would like to welcome our new PE teacher Miss Garcia to our department.

PE Extra Curricular Clubs

We have had excellent attendance to our PE extra-curricular clubs where students can come along to develop and improve their skills, techniques and tactical awareness. Students have also been representing Holly Lodge in various inter school matches and tournaments after school.  BTEC Sport and Dance groups are welcome to come to Study Support sessions to receive extra support with their coursework.  If you daughter has not yet attended PE clubs this term please encourage her to come along to further improve her skills, socialise and have fun!
