Physical Education
Our Physical Education department has the use
of a super facility, the Annandale and Eskdale Sports and Leisure
Complex, adjacent to the school. This includes a large sports hall and
a well-equipped fitness room. Pupils should bring appropriate kit
depending on the activity, shorts and a plain top are recommended.
Pupils are not allowed to wear outdoor shoes in the games hall. It is
important that pupils have a complete change of kit for PE. When
activities take place outside, pupils may require additional warm
clothing depending on the activity and the time of year. Excellent
showers are available in the complex.
