Extra CurricularExtra curricular PE is very popular among the students here at Deer Park. Extra curricular opportunities are available throughout the week at break/lunch and after school (3-4pm). We strongly encourage all students to be taking part in a minimum of one PE club per week to extend their learning beyond curriculum time. Sign up occurs during tutor time in September through google classroom and is supported by staff outside of the PE department. As the department expands we will be offering even more variety and continue to enter local, regional and national competitions. Pupils who show commitment to clubs and exceptional standards across school will be eligible for school teams. |
