Dave does 1:1 music tuition on Thursdays. This is done on request of pupil, teacher and parents. Pupils go onto an eight-week programme; this can continue or pupils can end their sessions depending on where the young person is at the point of refection.
Sara is our 1:1 boxing coach. She does 1:1 tuition with pupils on a Wednesday. Pupils are accepted by referral only with parental consent. Pupils follow a 12-week programme. The purpose of having this 1:1 is to enable pupils to work on resilience, control and/or fitness. Pupils may have a particular interest in this sport, so they have it to develop and refine their skill set.
Brook Academy uses the Halo sports centre across the road for swimming. This is an option provided to all pupils, however it is not mandatory to take part in swimming sessions. It is lead by our PE lead. We have lifeguard and a swimming teacher with four young people. Pupils have mixed ability, so we have put them in groups depending on ability. Therefore, non-swimmers will be together, and the same applies to the other groups.
We offer this to pupils who are completing a health-related exercise qualification or who have this on their EHCP/PEP plans. We have a limited amount of these passes, however they are not linked to a person they are linked to the school.
