On Thursday 14th July, fourteen students in Year 8 were picked by the PE department to go to RAF Cosford to takepart in the RAF 100 games. Those chosen are considering taking GCSE PE next year.

The group were given a timetable with sports that they participated in throughout the day. For example, drown-racing, martial arts and tug of war. This helped advance the students’ life skills as well as give them an opportunity to see an insight into a job in the RAF.

The staff explained how their jobs worked and gave students the perspective as if they were performing the sport in reality. The men who were in charge of the firetruck explained the important necessities which can help them lead people to safety and perform the mission that they are given.

With the detail of information that each instructor explained, this will benefit the safety and the knowledge of each sport as the students take their experience back to school.  Moreover, most of the students said that they enjoyed the drown-racing, tug-of-war and the shooting practice the most out of the activities.

Overall, the students enjoyed the day and the opportunity to try out new sports.
