PE and School Sport Funding

At Trinity Oaks C of E Primary School we recognise the importance of high quality PE and School Sport in the life of the school

  • The school has an important role in providing pupils with the confidence and skills for lifelong participation in physical activity as this will lead to better long term health

  • It is recognised that physical activity makes a valuable contribution to pupils’ health and well being

  • Research shows that physical activity can improve academic success

  • School sport contributes to pupils’ ability to work as a team and demonstrate leadership. It helps to build character and embed the values of fairness and respect

  • Local competition helps us to work with other schools, raise the profile of the school and develop links with sporting organisations in the local community.

Aims

  • To provide a supportive environment and a range of opportunities to increase the physical activity levels of the whole school and improve the health and well-being of pupils, staff and parents/carers

  • To keep under review our policy for physical activity so that it is appropriate for older pupils as the school grows.

Objectives

The intended outcomes of this policy are:

  • To increase pupils’ knowledge, understanding, experience and attitudes towards physical activity

  • To provide positive sporting role models and consistent messages in school about physical activity both within and outside the taught curriculum

  • To improve pupil’s physical fitness, behaviour, self-esteem, confidence and ability to work with one another.
