KS3 Revision Checklists
We strongly encourage all students to regularly take an interest in their own fitness and participate in physical activity outside of school and to regularly take part in extracurricular clubs whilst in school. Students can attend athletics club Monday and Tuesday lunch every week to support them in improving specific areas of their fitness.
Students keen to regularly exercise outside of school can also complete activities such as HIIT training following YouTube links, such as Joe Wicks. Students can also walk, cycle or run in their local area and monitor their progress using apps such as Strava, which records distance and time.
