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.

Pupils follow a series of lessons in which they develop different swimming strokes, as well as building their water confidence and water safety skills.
