Pupils should only be excused from participation in PE if they have SIGNED NOTE from a parent or guardian. This should state why the pupil is not taking part in PE that day and if this is an on-going injury or ailment.

Excused pupils will be expected to accompany their class and assist in a non playing roles such as umpire, score keeper etc. If this is impractical then the pupil will be placed in with another class to observe or given written work to complete to help further their knowledge on how to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

If pupils are not participating they should still bring their kit to change into to fulfill their non-playing role.

__Changing Room Policy__
At Gleniffer we have 4 boys and 4 girls changing rooms that are used for all classes throughout the day. Pupils are allocated a changing room for their class and this is pinned to the door of all changing rooms. Pupils are expected to get changed quickly, quietly and without any issues and report to their working area within 10 minutes of the school bell sounding. All changing rooms are locked for the duration of a pupils class by their class teacher or fellow colleague.


 * Change quickly and quietly - you should be in your class ready to begin 10 minutes after the bell
 * Alert your class teacher immediately if you are unable to participate or have forgotten you kit and kit will be issued in exchange for your tie.
 * Valuables including mobile phones and jewelery should be left in your bag in a zip pocket in the changing rooms - these will be locked.
 * Long hair MUST be tied back and all earrings, rings, necklaces and peircings removed.
 * Borrowed kit, including shoes, MUST be returned to your teacher and your tie will be returned to you.
 * Spray deodorants, hairsprays or any other aerosol cans MUST NOT be used in the changing rooms - this can irritate allergies.
