Gifted and Talented Day - 26th November 2008
This was the first ever morning that had been dedicated solely to Feltham Community College’s Physical Education G&T students.

A total of 63 students from Years 8 to 11 were split into three groups and undertook a carousel of workshops. These workshops, delivered by external tutors, were designed to challenge, educate and assess.

The Core Fitness Workshop looked at the development of abdominal and dorsal skeletal muscles through unstable training. By the end of this session all students understood the relevance of this session in relation to their own sports.

The Multi-skill workshop was delivered by the Lead Tutor in West London. This fun practical session looked at developing our students “speed”, “agility”, “power” and “sending and receiving” skills through practises that can be applied to many different sports, not just the students specialist sport.

The JAE workshop identified and assessed students who were considering a possible career as a paid sportsperson. As part of this assessment it also identified which students had a heavy commitment to sport outside of school, with this assessment forming part of the Schools JAE strategy, which is aimed at supporting potential elite or international athletes whilst in education.

To consolidate and develop the knowledge gained by the students at the inaugural PE G&T morning, further opportunities are being planned.
