YR8 OAA. Never leave a man alone. Using grid references, students hide and give clues with landmarks and photos for others to find and rescue their soldier. Fantastic engagement and an bundle of effort from all. 👏
Just some of our facilities. It’s an honour to teach here. If you are looking for a Head of PE role, look no further. See my pinned tweet for more detail.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present to our governors on the provision we offer in our department. The feedback I received has been overwhelming. So good to work in a school where I am supported and valued in achieving our vision.
A rare personal post but in times like this, it is important we appreciate what we have. It’s our 3 year wedding anniversary today and I am just thankful for her company and our health!
The last couple of days have been terrible for our YR11 and 13 students but if we have taught them anything in their time at school, it has all been worthwhile. 👍
Absolutely fantastic to hear
@scottdavies1988
talk about the dangers of gambling and to listen to his own personal story. The students were mesmerised. What a great hour!
Super proud of my department today. In times like the present, to have over 230 students participating across 6 different house tournaments and in 4 different facilities was a fantastic effort. Well done to

Boom! What.A.Half.Term.
One of, if not the busiest I have ever had! Paperwork galore, clubs and fixtures coming out of my ears and a whole lack of sleep.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be asleep!

@MrBakerUK
for asking me.
A huge shout out to the students who have been IMMENSE this half term. The engagement in our live lessons has been better than we ever imagined. We have loved working out with you! Enjoy a restful week away from your screens. 👏
Super proud of our department and students today. The way everyone has adapted to different ways of teaching and how many students got involved was/is awesome! 86/107 and 72/110 in our first two sessions today! TEAM!!!!
Gutted for the boys but what a team effort. They should be proud of how far they have come. The resilience and fight they showed made me super proud to lead them.
GCSE absolutely loved ‘Clark’s Bonus Bonanza’ today. Used as a reward for achieving well in the spot test. One student even managed to win a ‘no homework’ reward. Thanks Twitter for the idea.
So proud of our department and how hard everyone has worked this half term. An incredible amount of sport and opportunities provided, some times the students don’t know how lucky they are.

Loved the opportunity to complete a Learning Walk in our department today as part of the appraisal process. To see the team in action, especially delivering new SOWs was so refreshing. Proud of the squad for delivering such high class lessons.

Incredible clip for ever parent, teacher, colleague, partner and friend.
His son is now 16 and plays for Feyenoord.
After 5 years of District, County, Regional and National Finals these fantastic Year 11s played their final game for the school today. It’s been a huge honour and a pleasure working with these amazing young men. A 5-0 victory in the District Final was the best way to finish.
You are only as good as your team and my team make me look good. Good luck to Miss Burnham as she leaves us for her maternity leave. We hope you make magic memories as a family.
Great facilities, hard working and enthusiastic students, SLT backing, a strong fixture list and a great department?!? The perfect job is available for someone who is keen to progress and drive our department forward. See my pinned tweet!
All set for a ‘Fitness Olympics’ circuit training lesson P5 with the Year 9’s! 8 stations with rep medals, students are put into small teams and allocated a country - they must work together to achieve a medal in the allotted time.

More attention must be given to PE in schools, given the physical restrictions that students have endured over the past year, writes Iain MacCorquodale
Hugely appreciative of the input from Parmiter's pedagogy leads at

Huge thanks to
@JCoakleyPE
for providing our
@ParmitersPEDept
students the opportunity to go watch the international netball today. A legendary effort as always.
Genuinely couldn’t have asked for anything more from these young lads. A talented bunch but how they applied themselves today was so good to see.
Exciting summers ahead.
So so proud of our young 1st XI who put up a great fight against the MCC today. Finishing on 186-7 in response to 228-4 was brilliant to see. Exciting things ahead for this group.
One proud department.

Year 13 student Tom was the star of the day, highlighting just how incredibly fit he is. Tom completed the Vo2 Max test and ran for 19 minutes with a max speed of 20kmh. He completed 6.44km during that time. Seriously impressive.
