At Holy Trinity School, we firmly believe that Physical Education, experienced in a safe and supportive environment, has a vital role to play in the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, moral and cultural development of the children in our care, as well as promoting a lifelong healthy lifestyle and a sense of well-being. We believe that Physical Education should be an inclusive, motivational and supportive experience. We aim to encourage our pupils to be the best they can be and create a positive atmosphere through guidance, encouragement and support.

We use the getset4pe framework which gives a clear progression of skills, from EYFS to Year 6, through a broad breadth of different activities and sports.

In EYFS and KS1 the focus is on introducing and developing fundamental skills such as throwing and catching, moving and balancing. They are taught gymnastics and dance and are introduced to competitive games and invasion games.

In Key Stage 2, whilst maintaining and developing fundamental skills, there is more emphasis on tactical approaches to winning and losing games. Children are encouraged to consider how their own performance is affecting the end result and work as a team.

Active play is encouraged throughout the school with the provision of a climbing wall and challenge course (KS2), a play fort (KS2) and a Trim Trail (KS1). We also have an all-weather, 3G astro turf pitch.

We are committed to providing our children with the opportunities to experience and get involved with a range of extra-curricular sports clubs. These opportunities both support them to find sports they enjoy and promote active, healthy lifestyles. Some examples of our clubs include: Football (KS1, KS2, boys and girls); Tag Rugby, Dance, Judo, Multi sports (KS1), Real Runners, Netball, Running club.

One of our core values at Holy Trinity is community and we strongly believe that Physical Education and sport can give a strong link to the local community. We have built a foundation of community links (Richmond Knights, Sheen lions, KPR FC, Sheen Tennis, Sheen Hockey, Brentford FC, Kick London and many more) that enable our children to pursue sporting opportunities outside of the school setting.

As an inclusive school, we aim for every child to be given the opportunity to represent the school in at least one sporting fixture or competition. Three times a year we hold inter- house competitions where every child from year one to year six will compete against each other and earn points for their dedicated house team.

During the course of their time at Holy Trinity School, the children will have the opportunity to compete in many of the organised competitive events run by the Richmond Schools Sports Partnership. We enter leagues for Tag Rugby, boy’s football, girl’s football and netball. Throughout the year we enter competitions for athletics: Borough Sports and Borough Sports Team 1000, the borough swimming gala and the RISE swimming gala, the Panathlon, cross country, gymnastics, dance and tournaments for our borough league sports.

Overall it is our fundamental aim to ensure all children become physically literate and develop their physical education and confidence to enable them to enjoy participating in physically demanding tasks and activities. This confidence and development of their gross and fine motor skills, combined with a far ranging variety of sports and activities, will give them the confidence and inspiration to continue participation and go on to lead a healthy and active lifestyle for life.

We celebrate, share and encourage our children’s successes in sport regularly in classes, within clubs, in assemblies and through our newsletters. In addition, at the end of each academic year we hold a sports award celebration assembly where we congratulate each child that has participated in a club and celebrate their efforts and achievements. To commend effort, excellence and achievement each club nominates several members for most improved player and player of the year. We also award the Holy Trinity girls’ and boys’ Sports Personality of the Year. We recently received the Gold Sports Mark Award which is recognised by the borough and Youth Games for our contribution to PE and Sports.`
