Dd told me that her year (y7) is split into 3 groups of 60 for PE. There is a group of 60 boys, a group of 60 girls and then there is her group which has 56 boys and 4 girls. She doesn't seem bothered by it but does think it's strange. Boys are expected to have football boots and shin pads but girls aren't so I assumed they would be separated for PE because they would do different sports. I get that if there are 4 'extra' girls then they have to put them somewhere but they have 3 PE teachers for every lesson so perhaps they could have had a slightly bigger girls group. What would you think about this?
