PE should be available, but shouldn't be compulsary. it should definintely not be a compulsary academic subject.

A Games lesson a week (non-certificating), should be enforced, to ensure that everyone gets some physical activity, just the chance to play basketball, football, volleyball, tennis, hockey - it would also provide a welcome break from the academic stuff that you have to take seriously.

When it get's to the time we get to decide subjects for future careers etc-eg GCSE, A LEVEL etc PE lessons should not be compulsary! I think far too many periods are wasted on compulsary PE, RE and PSE...Bah!

I agree with bith Expression and Egan. Sports is relaxing and a good brake from the stress of school etc, but re and pse and pe lessons in the weeks immediately preceeding exams can be seen as pointless, and not a good idea, as then time can be spent on revising. students should choose during that time whether or not to go or not, as some will want to go to relax, whilst others will rather revise.

yeah like I actually went to a single PE lesson for the last few months of school. In 6th form I think that you have the choice for yourself to go down to the sports yard for a kickabout, or whatever floats your boat.
