What do pupils think about PE in secondary school?

Muneeba in Year 8 Said…. “I think that PE is an amazing subject to learn here at Bronte Girls’ Academy. We have learnt a variety of sports and had the opportunity to take part on tournaments at Hanson Academy. We have a huge sports hall as well as courts to be able to play activities such as football, netball, basketball and much more! We had many extra-curricular clubs to be able to practice on the sports that we love!”

Humyra in Year 8 Said… “At Bronte Girls’ academy we do not judge anyone we are all equal no matter what we look like or sound like. One of my favourite clubs are Cheerleading and Trampolining, however, I am also a Netball Captain. At Bronte even if you’re not chosen to go out of school to compete, we hold internal netball leagues and raise money for charity. Through these league s, my confidence of umpiring has excelled. I would highly recommend PE at Bronte Girls’ Academy!”
