PE Uniform Clarification
Dear GA Family
The start to term has been incredibly exciting in the PE department, as well as across the school. With a great range of sports being introduced, gym equipment for use at break times, break time sports clubs, as well as representative team fixtures being put in place. Seeing all students benefit from over 2.5 hours of PE lessons each week is great for both fitness and mental health.
As the autumnal weather starts to bring colder and wetter days, please may we remind you of the kit that is permitted to support your child to stay warm. Wherever possible we will always seek to use our incredible outdoor facilities and will continue to do so.
The school equipment and uniform policy is on the website. The PE section is copied below. Please note the various options for students, for you to purchase, as the temperature starts to drop i.e. base layers, fleece top, and tracksuit top.
