Non participants
If students have an injury they will take on a leadership role within the lesson. No student is exempt from taking part in learning. In the case of an injury, students need to bring a note from a parent/carer explaining why they cannot participate practically and also bring and change into their PE kit.
We understand that in some extreme situations students will not be able to change into PE kit e.g. broken leg. The PE staff will use their professional discretion to identify the rare occasions that it is not appropriate for a student to be asked to change into PE kit.
Jewellery hair & nails
In accordance with BAALPE Health and Safety guidance, no student is permitted to wear jewellery when participating in PE and Sport. Jewellery should not be taped. Long hair must be tied back and nails should not be visible beyond fingertips.
