Curriculum Intent

The purpose of PE and School Sport at Blessed Trinity is that all our pupils participate in and learn from meaningful and relevant physical activity which improves their physical competence and wellbeing today and for life. At Blessed Trinity we place the needs of the learner at the heart of the offer and use the vehicle of sport and physical activity to develop transferable life skills.

 

 

As a department we believe physical education is more than just being good at sport, physical education creates opportunities for pupils to develop their ‘Head, Heart and Hands’.

 

 

Assessment in PE

School Games Mark

 

We are delighted to announce that Blessed Trinity RC College have achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award. The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

With many young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.
