PE and Sports
Curriculum Intent
Our vision for physical education and sport provision at Trinity is providing children with the drive to understand the importance of physical activity and health habits for physical and mental health, nutrition and hygiene. We are passionate about the need to teach children how to collaborate with others, master fundamental movement skills and embed life-long values not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines that physical education and sport promotes.
It is our intention to build a curriculum that enables all children to develop the competence to excel in sporting vocabulary, knowledge and skills in a broad range of sporting activities, as well as developing values and transferable life skills such as teamwork and respect. We ensure that our curriculum aligns with national curriculum guidelines whilst catering to the diverse needs and abilities of our pupils through promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all. We encourage positive competition and teamwork, which in turn fosters enjoyment for physical activity, builds self-confidence and resilience and ensures our pupils embrace their capability to become physically active lifelong learners.
Sequencing and Progression
The curriculum map is designed in such a way that children are able to build on their prior learning. Basic core skills are revisited at the start of each unit to allow children to understand and select the skills that are required. These are then embedded throughout the unit. The skills are revisited each week and built on as the children’s bank of knowledge grows. Children's knowledge is built upon throughout each year and across the year groups.
Early Years
In the Early Years, children have the opportunity to be physically active in their environment, through play. They have regular access to appropriate outdoor space where they are able to practise movement skills and have access to sporting equipment such as balls, rackets and trikes, providing them with the opportunity to engage in daily sporting activities. Children also have a weekly PE session where they are able to engage in activities such as throwing and catching and travelling in a range of different movements. These gross and fine motor skills are vital for their development to enable them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives.
Key Stage One and Two
From Years 1 to 6, children have a weekly PE lesson. Within the half-term units which include gymnastics, dance, invasive games, striking and fielding, athletics and swimming, there is a significant focus on key concepts such as core strength, throwing and catching and multi-skills.
OAA
Children in Years 3 - 6 have the opportunity to participate in Outdoor Adventurous Activties (OAA) where they learn and develop problem solving skills through a range of challenges, including, navigating around a grid, drawing and following a map, drawing a route including directions and working cooperatively.
Extra-curricular
At Trinity, we offer a wide range of sporting after school clubs including, gymnastics, football, multi-sports, dance, hockey and many more. Here, the children are able to learn the rules and develop the fundamental skills and behaviours that emerge from participating in and competing in sports.
These children then have the opportunity to attend and compete in inter sports competitions or festivals with other Haringey schools throughout the year.
Trinity has sought to provide sporting opportunities for all children through accessible, challenging, multi-sport experiences at all ages and abilities. In turn, this will ensure that all children develop character and learn skills such as problem-solving, resilience, perseverance, confidence, sportsmanship and teamwork.
