Sports Fixtures Information

In the past year, the PE & Lifeskills team have been using a new tool, SOCS, to help keep parents/carers informed about sports fixtures here at Penryn College.

What is SOCS?

SOCS provides easy access to information about teams, match details, and results for those of you whose child/children participate in sport at Penryn College. You will be able to find out in just a few clicks what’s on where and when, as well as synchronise your desktop and mobile calendars with relevant team fixture lists.

How we use SOCS 

The PE & Lifeskills team uses SOCS to create teamsheets. These are posted on the PE noticeboard at school for pupils to confirm availability and so they are aware of the key details: kit required, meeting times, mode of transport, estimated return time, venue, etc. We recommend pupils use their iPads to take a photo to share this information at home. However, parents/carers can use the Sports Calendar to see some of this information for themselves.

For younger students, we appreciate this is a new system and we try to help encourage them to take responsibility for managing this and sharing information with their parents/carers.

Our Sports Calendar can be accessed by clicking here.
