CYGNET is a collaboration between Sport, Physical Education and Health and provides a pathway for more able students to develop in their sport and as an athlete.
The CYGNET programme is about learning the foundation skills required in their sport, is focused on developing the whole person, and places importance on values.
Sports offered include: Hockey, Football, Netball, Rowing and Tennis (may be altered at the discretion of the HOD and Sports Director).
There are 3 aspects to this integrated course.
1. Code sessions allow talented students to be extended in their sport and training is received from specialist coaches (once per week).
2. Physical Education lessons are modified and tailored to meet individual sporting needs, as well as developing important interpersonal and self-management skills required to be successful in the sporting world.
3. Health and Sports Science lessons see students receive instruction in the areas of; fitness, nutrition, sports science, and core health in a positive and challenging environment and with relevance to the students as ‘athletes’.
