I never enjoyed sports lessons at school and was not surprised when I read that the last government had made 2 hours a week of physical activity compulsory. Like many things that are 'compulsory', physical excercise is supposed to be 'good for you' even when you don't enjoy it.
I recall being dressed in just blouse and knickers on a field in winter, in a howling gale, pushing a ball around with a curved stick because some sadist considered it was 'good for me'.
This week that compulsion for pupils to have two hours excercise has been removed.

We have read about Rhyddings School having reduced pupil numbers and teaching staff redundancies. This is just as the Heys Field Football pavilion is approaching completion and goal posts and white lines are all that is left to do. It provided me with 18 months of misery living next to a building site but that is not your concern is it?
It may well prove to be an expensive white elephant and a drain on county council finances for its maintenance costs.
