PE Trip to Sunderland University

Our A Level PE students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit the state-of-the-art sports science laboratories at Sunderland University.

As part of an immersive and hands-on learning experience, students undertook professional level VO₂ max testing and blood lactate sampling, key performance and recovery measures used by elite athletes.

The visit gave students a real-world insight into sports physiology, allowing them to apply classroom theory to cutting-edge practice. It was an inspiring day that not only deepened their understanding of the subject but also sparked curiosity about future careers in sports science and performance analysis.

A huge thank you to the team at Sunderland University for hosting such a valuable and engaging session!
