Holyrood has a fantastic facility for providing Physical Education for our pupils. The Sports Centre is a dual use building of which the school has sole use during school hours. We have 2 large games halls, a dance studio, fitness suite, Active8gym for 8-14 year olds as well as 3 all weather hockey/football pitches. In the main school we have a newly refurbished 20 metre swimming pool as well as a large gymnasium.
Pupils in S1/S2 will follow the 5-14 guidelines and have 2-3 periods of Physical Education per week. S3/S4 follows the Standard Core curriculum with 2-3 periods per week. Pupils electing for Standard Grade Physical Education will have an additional 3 periods of certificated PE. S5/S6 are offered Higher/Intermediate PE as well as a new Sports Leadership level 1 Award which includes a S.F.A. Referees Certificate, First Aid, Badminton, Skiing and Rock Climbing.
The PE department offers a wide range of activities in its curriculum including swimming, football, dance, gymnastics, badminton, netball, basketball, hockey, volley ball, lifesaving, fitness and athletics.
PE Kit
All pupils participate in Physical Education regularly. To participate fully they should bring suitable clothing and footwear specifically for P.E. lessons. We try to encourage all pupils to wear a uniform P.E.KIT. This is a white T-shirt and blue/black shorts or joggers, swimming costume or swimming shorts for lessons in the swimming pool.
If a pupil is for any reason unable to participate in the P.E.lesson, then a Parental Note should be provided, however, the pupil should bring in their P.E.Kit and they will be given some light tasks to do such as timing, refereeing, helping out with equipment.
