Our approach to teaching sport

Listen to Mark Lloyd, Director of Sport explain how we teach sport at Great Walstead 

Our 3 core aims

In the sports department, we have three core aims that guide our approach to teaching and coaching:

  1. Develop independent and resilient young sportsmen and women who are creative and confident decision makers.
  2. Provide a variety of team and individual sporting experiences for all pupils.
  3. Instil pupils with a life-long love of sport and an understanding of physical health and well-being.

These combine to give a sporting experience that captures excellence, inclusivity, and enjoyment for all. Whether it’s competing in a national final, or playing a new sport for the first time, every sporting achievement is valued and recognised.

After school clubs offer additional activities such as sailing, karate, dance, horse riding and golf.
