KS3 PE Curriculum
At KS3 students will study a variety of activities including Netball, Football, Basketball, handball, Rugby, Gymnastics, Dance, Orienteering, Fitness, Rounders, Athletics and Cricket. Students will be taught in mixed ability classes in year 7 and then set based on their ability in year 8-11. This will enable lessons to be tailored to individual needs, however these sets will be regularly reviewed allowing students the opportunity to move between groups.
At the beginning of KS3 the curriculum seeks to develop students’ physical literacy skills, enhancing their ability to link generic skills through different activities. As the key stage progresses students seek to refine core skills and enhance complex movements. Throughout the key stage students are provided with every opportunity to evaluate and improve their own and others work enabling them to provide a detailed analysis on performance by the end of Year 9.
During KS3 there is a consistent focus on independent learning allowing students to develop their leadership capabilities enabling them to develop confidence and resilience.
In Year 9 students will select their option pathway for KS4. Students will have the opportunity to discuss this with their class teacher to ensure an appropriate pathway is selected.

KS4 PE Curriculum
In Key Stage 4, all students will continue to participate in Core Physical Education lessons.
The Physical Education curriculum at Trinity C E High School aims to provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. We also strive to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. We seek to provide numerous opportunities for students to compete in sport, build character and to develop values such as commitment, resilience, fairness and respect.
In addition to Core PE lessons, students will have the opportunity to study GCSE PE or Level 2 BTEC Sport.
