An important part of life...
This part of our website shares how sport continues to play a vital part in the children's lives at Tudor.
Recent years have seen a major transformation at Tudor Primary in regard to sport and active lifestyles. We fully recognise our duty in delivering high quality PE and sport for all pupils in our care. This part of the website will share our ongoing story (and success)...
Mr Higgins is our sports coach. An ex- Tudor pupil himself, Mr Higgins is passionate about PE and he is keen to help drive up our standards in this vital aspect of children's development. So you all can know a little bit more about our Tudor Sports Coach, I asked him to provide a few words for our website about sport and fun physical activity at Tudor Primary:
I continue to love my time as Sports Coach at Tudor! I am proud to say how sport and fun activity is such an important area of our school and that EVERY child is able to succeed and enjoy an active time in our school! Having had a lengthy educational journey through College, the University of Hertfordshire, and varying different roles in the sports coaching industry (from grass roots to academy level), it’s been great to put everything into practice and transform sport at Tudor into the HUGE success that it currently is! My qualifications cover football, dodgeball, tennis, futsal, disability tennis, goalkeeping, talent identification, and more. I remain determined for Tudor Primary pupils to have the BEST experience of physical education and sport. Look what we have now achieved:
- PLATINUM School Games Mark - Tudor has MADE IT to the highest level possible! We have been awarded this nationally recognised status for our sustained sporting success over a number of years. That’s everything from our inter/intra school events, sporting innovation, an engaging curriculum, extra-curricular opportunities, staff development, targeted provision, and so much more!
- An engaging, wider PE curriculum like no other! We have managed to secure extended opportunities to make our PE curriculum as unique as they come! Alongside 2 hours of high-quality, skills-focused PE every week, we enjoy strong links with many local sports clubs including our continued investment in skiing lessons as part of the PE curriculum in year 6 with our neighbours at the Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre.
- Inter-school success! Tudor really is making an impact in competitions with other schools! We continue to enjoy a great deal of success at local and county level. WhatEVER the sport, Tudor children ACHIEVE! Come and check out our ever-growing trophy cabinet in the school office!
- Fun-filled lunchtimes! Every day we have a number of different activities for children to participate in! On a typical day at Tudor, you will see hundreds of children enjoying themselves playing football, basketball, cricket, tennis, and on our fantastic Tudor Towers Activity Centre! Our field and playground is such an amazing place at lunch
