MARCH – We are back! We returned to masks and tighter restrictions but more importantly than that, we returned to students and staff delighted to be in school. We returned to an environment we all loved and we returned to nothing but activity in PE. Active, active, active, was the only call and the students responded brilliantly. We even managed a couple of fixtures this summer term! Our incredible GCSE and A-LEVEL students absolutely shone during the TAG (Teacher Assessed Grades) process. Their hard work, engagement and enthusiasm, as well as their diligence to coursework and classwork through the January – March period meant that when the government decided to let schools control the grading process, we were in an exceptionally informed place to do so in a fair way that ensures that the hard work paid off for our students. This year showed the best of Cherwell. Staff and students. We showed that a strong community can accomplish anything and in PE we felt the challenge but always the support of the community. Thank you so much for all of your support through the year. Please read on to see the exciting updates for Cherwell PE next year and beyond…… Mr Wallington, Head of Faculty – Physical Education
