PE and Sports Education

PE and sport provide significant opportunities for collaboration for VIAT schools. As a Trust, we understand and promote the importance of such a key subject area for all our students across primary and secondary phases. 

PE departments within Invicta Grammar School, Valley Park School and SST Maidstone have been working collaboratively to create a curriculum based around high expectations, giving students an experience of a broad range of skills and sports, as well as an awareness of the importance of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.

Our primary schools have also worked hard to develop a comprehensive programme that introduces our children to a whole host of different sporting activities – everything from netball and football to horse-riding and skiing. 

There have also been a number of sports clubs running throughout the year so that a broader range of extra-curricular activities can be offered to students/pupils both at lunch time and after school. Additionally, inter-school tournaments in sports including benchball, netball and football have been held, allowing Trust pupils and students to come together competitively.

By working together, the PE departments have gained a wider insight into the different sports which each school offers and improved their own teaching knowledge across different sports, which has been invaluable for professional development.
