Sports Clubs
The club timetable is available below and will be on display in the PE department for students.
During your childs time at Great Baddow High School we will be able to offer a range of sports fixtures for them to take part in.
To enable your child to take part in fixtures out of school time please complete the PARCON (parental consent form) using the link attached. This form asks your permission for us to act in loco parentis. Once signed by you, this form gives your child permission to take part in sporting activities on and offsite for their entire time at Great Baddow High School, however, should any information on this change, please ensure you contact the school so that this can be updated. At times, photographs of your child may be taken to form displays of success or use on controlled social media accounts/school website or press releases. If you have any questions relating to this or any other matter in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
