Welcome to THS PE!

Begin with a perfect THS egg. It is whole, and it has something wonderful inside it…

Our ‘Flying Start, Contagious and Courageous’ PE curriculum enables our BIRDS to soar high in life - feeling the wind beneath their wings as they delve deep into a variety of exciting sports and activities.

We use the acronym HAWKS to encourage our BIRDS to be; Healthy, Active, Willing & Knowledgeable Sportspeople. Our intent is to give children the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to engage in physical activity for life. Physical Literacy is at the heart of everything we do and we take pride in our achievements in and out of school!

• Organising sports events to encourage our local community to become actively involved in sport (Sports Days etc).

Monitoring Impact Of Our Spending:

As a school, we are required to monitor the impact of our sport premium spending. We will continually monitor and assess the impact of our spending through student, parent and staff interviews/discussions.

Our PE team will monitor children’s participation in lessons/clubs and inter-school events in order to target clubs/lessons/events to engage all children. Our PE team will liaise with the staff to discuss professional development in all areas of our PE curriculum and develop team-teaching opportunities to ensure teachers are competent and confident to deliver high-quality PE lessons.

Our Sports Governor will meet regularly with the PE lead to ensure the Sport Premium money is used in the best way to promote physical activity and sport across the school, ensuring that all future THS BIRDS can spread their wings and soar!
