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.
