Our U16's Football TeamPhysical Education at Trinity Catholic School offers a broad and balanced curriculum that seeks to engage and enthuse students. Year 7 is an important year, setting the foundations of how to be successful in PE. We focus on the skills, qualities and values that will underpin learning and apply the school values of aspiration, integrity, resilience and respect. In year 8 and 9, the focus turns to specific activities, where pupils develop their skills in different topics, before a tactical emphasis in Key Stage 4 in which we aim to promote a love of physical activity, encouraging lifelong participation.

Our pupils are provided with the opportunity to engage in a range of National Curriculum activities across Key Stage 3. In Key Stage 4 pupils take greater ownership of their activities and can select pathways based on activities they wish to specialise in.

We now boast a strong and diverse Extra- Curricular programme, with sports clubs taking place every lunchtime and after school. In addition, pupils are given the chance to represent the school in a range of sports. We are the leading school in the area for volleyball and have football teams for every year group. We also play fixtures in most major school sports and are constantly looking to diversify our programme, promoting a lifelong love of sport and physical activity.

In Key Stage 4, pupils have the opportunity to take examination course PE (GCSE and BTEC) where students learn about aspects of Physiology, Psychology, Sociology of Sport and Participation. Where students select PE as an option, they have an additional 5 lessons over a fortnight. This is separate to core PE Lessons that all students continue to follow as part of their curriculum.
