| Alfriston School were awarded Sports College status earlier this year, reflecting their outstanding commitment to enabling all their pupils to take part in and enjoy physical activity. In addition to delivering high quality PE lessons, the PE department provides three lunchtime sports clubs everyday. Activities include mainstream sports such as netball, dodgeball and gymnastics, as well as the every popular tap and ballroom dancing classes. With sport playing such a large role in the life of the school, pupils endeavour to become sports leaders and helpers, many of them | getting involved in the running of the lunchtime activities as well as school sporting events and local sports festivals. Pupils are keen to socialise within their peer groups both in and outside school. However this doesn’t curb their steely determination for success: this year the pupils excelled at the Bucks Youth Games; have helped represent the Horizon Disability Sports Club in major competitions; have swelled the ranks of the local Penn & Tylers Green Karate Club and become netball champions in national competition. |
