Covid Update
On Tuesday 29 March, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, set out the next steps for living with COVID-19 in England from Friday 1 April.
Updated guidance advises:
- Adults with the symptoms of a respiratory infection, and who have a high temperature or feel unwell, should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people until they feel well enough to resume normal activities and no longer have a high temperature.
- Children and young people who are unwell and have a high temperature should stay at home and avoid contact with other people. They can return to college when they no longer have a high temperature, and are well enough to attend.
- Adults with a positive COVID-19 test result should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days, which is when they are most infectious. For children and young people aged 18 and under, the advice is 3 days.
For education and childcare settings from Friday 1 April:
- Regular asymptomatic testing is no longer recommended in any education or childcare setting, including in SEND, alternative provision and children’s social care settings. Therefore, we will no longer be able to order test kits .
SGS Active
At SGS College we believe in the benefits of being involved in Sport, especially for our learners Physical, Mental, Emotional and Social Wellbeing.
SGS Active Aims
The main aim of the SGS Active programme was to get as many SGS College students involved in Sport as possible.
This academic year (22-23) the project has undertaken a process of evolution to not only encourage our learners to consider participating in active-based initiatives but to create sustained consideration of leading a healthy lifestyle after the duration of their study programme is complete.
We recognise that “Sport” or “PE” could have negative connotations for our learners especially from previous experiences. The aim of SGS Active is to promote an active lifestyle by transforming unpleasant sporting experiences into motivational, enjoyable and inclusive ones.
SGS Active caters for all groups, across all sites, and all abilities. The programme is mailable in its delivery and can be rolled out on a weekly, monthly or termly basis, embedding active into curriculum areas and extra-curriculum learning.
What is the SGS Active Programme?
SGS Active is a programme that runs alongside the SGS+ Framework. It is made up of themed months that develop our learners personal and social skills through the medium of Sport and Physical Activity.
