As time keeps ticking on towards the Olympics, sport is ever growing in our minds especially with the Government making reports in June 2011 about Physical Education failing in schools correlating with the rising numbers of obesity. So the Harrogate Journal is taking a closer look into these allegations and finding out exactly what your thoughts are.
Harrogate Grammar School are in the local sporting limelight currently due to the construction of a multi-purpose sports pitch. (See article below) With this exciting news, we have spoken to both staff and students about they’re overall view about P.E.
Harrogate Grammar School students have recently had a whole schools sports day which “went down a treat this year”. This year’s event was apparently “like no other” and “an outstanding day full of energy and good sportsmanship” said Mr Brown, Head of Sports at HGS. In order
In order to encourage wider participation traditional track and field events were supplemented with fun team activities such as; Volleyball, Tug o’ War, Rounders, Tennis, and Frisbee.
Ben Smith, a year 8 student says “This sports day is so much better than my primary school sports day and I love the running! I wish we could race all the time in P.E instead of gymnastics!”
Unfortunately the wider involvement and enthusiasm which our Reporters found at Harrogate Grammar School cannot be found at other schools across the region to this level but perhaps they can learn from this leading example and triumph in some sporting success.
