Im very fortunate that I get to call this my office. Doesn’t look this idyllic in the middle on January when you can’t feel your fingers and are developing the early stages of trench foot however. I’ll appreciate it for now!
Great to see so much extra curricular sport going on after school today at @CFGS. South Devon year 7 and year 8 mixed rounders competitions, as well as Churston vs @TorquayAcademyS U15 netball match. We couldn’t wish for a better setting for sport!

The afternoons that remind us how lucky we are to do what we do! Not in any other sport do you see the same rate of progression as year 7 rugby IMO 🏉
The @CFGS U12 rugby team had their first taste of competition this week and the boys loved it. Thanks to @PaigntonPE and @TeamTA_Sport for the games!

Thanks @benking01. Such an important message today and going forward. Very easy to lose sight of the challenges our young people face. Happy to share the presentation if needed. #pupilpremium @EducEndowFoundn
Excellent presentation to staff today by @Skelly_PE outlining @CFGS's #PupilPremium strategy, particularly in light of the #CostOfLivingCrisis and evidence from the @EducEndowFoundn. Key parts of our school's strategy include #metacognition (#LearningToLearn) training...

Every year I am blown away by the leadership, team spirit and sheer determination on display from our students on sports day. The PE staff aren’t too bad either. These are the days why we do what we do. @MagpiePE @DanielJGreaves @Charlie_Haigh @CaraYoung1301
The first full sports day in 3 years took place today at @CFGS, and what a day it was! Congratulations to all students involved and thanks to everyone that helped it run smoothly. Well done Thompson 🟡 for winning the house competition this year! (Pro photos to follow) 🥇🥈🥉🏃🏼♀️🏃🏽

Great to see such a rise in participation in girls cricket over the last few years. Long may it continue! Not a bad day out for the girls (and myself!) 🏏☀️ @tauntonschool @Chance2Shine @DevonCricket @_WesternStorm
What a day at the @Chance2Shine South West Finals day at @tauntonsports. @CFGS’s U15 girls represented @DevonCricket and took 3rd 🥉 place to top off a brilliant season! Thanks to @_WesternStorm for being there and for being fantastic role models for the girls.

When teaching a half twist jump off the trampette this week in gymnastics, it was approximately 0.03 seconds after starting the activity that I heard a “SIIIIUUUUUU” 🤦🏽♂️ #PETeacherProblems

Awesome to have so many staff stay behind on a Friday after school for Staff Sport, especially after a long busy week! Setting a great example to the students 🏸🏓
It isn’t just the students that love their sport at @CFGS. Great turn out at Staff Sport this evening! 👏🏼 @Skelly_PE @MagpiePE @CaraYoung1301 @kieran_earley @DGLChurston @RDBChurston @gemma_longhurst @PaulSut04946304 @Chrishall231 @SamGratton7

Great to get the boys playing again. I forgot how much brain power refereeing, coaching, making subs and being the medic all at the same time takes! 🤯
A great effort from the @CFGS year 9 rugby team this evening in the South Devon Cup. First school rugby fixture since 2019 for most and first ever for some! Well done to @PE_PCSA for the 12-33 win and good luck in the next round. @Skelly_PE is a happy coach! 🏉

Has anyone completed any decent CPD on ways to develop #metacognition within students? Would be really interested to hear any suggestions of companies/individuals leading any CPD. Would also be interested if anyone can direct me towards any metacognition resources. Thanks!

After being hit square on the forehead today by a softball thrown from the other end of the sportshall, I can confirm that whoever named it a “soft”ball was wrong 🤕
