PE & Sports

At Torre, we believe that physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development.  Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability and interaction with others. 

​

Through sport and other physical activities, our children will learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and members of groups and teams. They learn to cooperate and to compete fairly, understanding their own and other’s roles. 

 

Our aim is that through physical education, we teach and develop physical competence, an appreciation of skilled and creative performances, understanding of basic principles of ‘fair play’ and improve interpersonal skills. Torre Academy will achieve the above through;

 

• Following a broad and balanced PE curriculum fulfilling the requirements of the National Curriculum.

• Ensure every child moving on to secondary school can swim 25m and has basic water skills.

• Developing the fitness of the individual, by ensuring a good pace in lessons and incorporating fitness activities into physical education lessons as appropriate.

• Developing programmes that meet the needs of all the children, providing equal opportunities.

• Involving the community where possible - e.g. Sports Day, clubs, intra/ inter-school matches, outside coaching personnel and resources.

• Provide enjoyable experiences, where positive attitudes of sensitivity, leadership, co-operation, competition and tolerance may develop.

 

In addition to the school curriculum our students compete in a range of School Game competitions, sports festivals and local fixtures taking place at regular intervals during the appropriate season.

 

Along with the large variety of physical activity within the curriculum we also offer a range of after school clubs with the help of Saints Southwest. This has helped us obtain the 'Silver' mark for School Games in 21/22.
