Introducing SOCS: Our New Extra-Curricular and Sport Management System
From the start of the Spring Term, the PE Department will be moving over to a new digital platform called SOCS. This change is being introduced to ensure that parents and guardians can stay better informed about the full range of opportunities we offer, as well as when their child has been selected to represent the school.
The first phase of this transition will be SOCS Co-curricular, where parents and students will be able to view all the extra-curricular activities available through the department The system clearly lists dates, times, and sign-up options, making it easier for families to see what is on offer and register for clubs.
We have also invested in the SOCS Sport system. This will allow us to create digital team sheets for fixtures and events. These will be emailed directly to parents and guardians, enabling you to give consent efficiently and ensuring you are aware whenever your child is chosen to take part in school sport.
Before the end of this term, parents and guardians will receive an email with instructions on how to log in and access SOCS. Please keep an eye out for this message so you are ready for our full move to the system in January
We are excited about the improved communication and clarity SOCS will bring for students, families, and staff.

MUDRUN
Following the Christmas break, each student’s first PE lesson will feature our annual Mud Run an inclusive run/walk designed to reintroduce students to physical activity after the winter holidays.

How to run or walk safely in adverse weather conditions, with a focus on fitness. The psychological benefits associated with outdoor physical activity. The social value of exercising with peers; students will be encouraged to talk and connect during the run/walk.
This is not a competitive event. It is intended to be a fun, sociable experience suitable for all students. In most cases, even those recovering from illness or injury are able to participate by walking
Students will complete a short cross-country route (approximately 1 km), regardless of weather conditions.
Please ensure your child comes prepared with:
Warm layers
A waterproof jacket
A hat
Gloves
