An example day in Aaron's timetable
08:30
Travel to college
I have an easy journey into College. I jump on a train at the end of my road, and it only takes 4 minutes to get to Thames Ditton station – easy as!
08:55
Period 1 - Physical Education
Periods 1 and 2 are always a double – whatever the subject.
I really enjoy PE and my teacher Cate is great. I did PE for my GCSEs and I was expecting it to be a similar structure. However, A Level PE digs deeper into the theories behind sports and sports performance, and we do a practical in one sport. I have chosen rugby.
10:00
Break
A 15 min break to go grab a drink and a snack.
10:20
Period 2 - Physical Education
Back into PE, where we are learning how physiological factors underpin performance. I am looking forward to learning more about sport psychology in athlete development. Today we are looking at endurance. 100 sit-ups in a bleep test. Easy!
11:35
Period 3 - Economics
This is a really interesting class and is challenging – in a good way. It’s very thought provoking. As I am in first year, we have been studying micro concepts and key macro features of the UK economy, in particular.
12:45
Period - Lunch
I have a rugby game this afternoon, so I am going to go to the café on campus and fuel up – probably with a pizza. They’re pretty good. And then I need to go and warm up for the game.
On other days, I might walk around to the Co-op with some friends and get some food there.
01:50
Period 5 - Rugby
Wednesday is game day at Esher. All our sports fixtures are played on a Wednesday afternoon.
It’s a warm-up first and then into our kit.
02:30
Period 6 - Rugby
Today, Godalming College is coming to us. It’s going to be a close one!
04:15
Home time
We won! Now it’s time to go home.
