“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic & creative intellectual activity.” J F Kennedy

Physical Education Curriculum at Holy Trinity

Physical Education & Sport Subject Leader is Miss Harding

 

Our curriculum intent for Physical Education is that every child will: 

 

  • take part in two hours of planned physical activity a week
  • experience high quality teaching from teachers at Holy Trinity and sports coaches
  • develop the fundamental physical skills of agility, balance and coordination
  • apply these skills within a wide range of sports
  • have additional opportunities for physical activity within curriculum hours and outside of curriculum hours
  • be inspired to lead and support others
  • be well informed to make exercise a part of their healthy lifestyle now and in the future
  • exhibit the School Games values of passion, self-belief, determination, respect, teamwork and honesty

 

Implementation of the Physical Education Curriculum at Holy Trinity

 

Holy Trinity is committed to ensuring all children have full access to high-quality physical education and sport. We use sports coaches as well as our teachers to deliver two hours of curriculum P.E. every week. In addition to two hours a week, classes participate in extra physical activity such as working towards a daily mile and 5-a-Day.

 

The Curriculum consists of the following areas:

  • Dance
  • Gymnastics
  • Games, including invasion, net & wall, striking and fielding
  • Athletics
  • Outdoor and Adventurous Activities
  • Swimming

Also, children take part in house competitions termly, and weekly sporting challenges run by our house captains.

 

Swimming

Our pupils in Y3 and Y4 attend swimming lessons at St. George's, Ascot, which are led by Frogs and Friends instructors.  Our aim is for all pupils to be able to swim the required 25 metres by the time they leave in Year 6 and promote participation outside of school. Pupils follow a series of lessons in which they develop different swimming strokes, as well as building their water confidence and water safety skills.

 

Outside of Curriculum Hours

 

We offer a wide range of sports clubs before school, during lunchtimes and after school.  These include the following:

  • Football
  • Netball
  • Cricket
  • Athletics
  • Multi-sports
  • Fencing
  • Martial arts
  • Tennis
  • Basketball
  • Skateboarding

 

 

The Impact of the Physical Education Curriculum at Holy Trinity

 

Pupils experience a wide range of competitive and non-competitive physical activity and sporting opportunities both within curriculum hours, and outside of them through before and after school clubs as well as through links to community clubs.

Pupils leave Holy Trinity having found a love for keeping active and for a sport that they can build upon in secondary school and beyond. Many pupils leave having had experience of leading teams, which they can extend further should they wish to follow that pathway at their future years.
