Through our teaching of sport, we will instill the Hadrian Learning Trust core values which are respect, engage and aspire, and provide opportunities to help embed other values such as resilience, fairness, integrity and determination, while raising self-confidence and esteem.

Our sport and physical activity curriculum will be planned and sequenced to build student knowledge and understanding from GCSE PE or OCR Cambridge National in Sport Science/Studies.

Our sport curriculum offers students the opportunity to develop their theoretical knowledge across a broad, coherent and well-sequenced curriculum throughout years 12 and 13, building upon prior learning at key stage 4.

We hope that the pupils and students who study our Cambridge Technical course in sport and physical activity can gain a rich understanding of the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle and are empowered with the key values we believe in.
