Senior sports excel at Holy Trinity International School

With a number of students playing for local football club, Kidderminster Harriers Youth Team, senior sports students at Holy Trinity International School’s (HTIS) sixth form are enjoying success in both the classroom and on the sports field, thanks to the school’s inclusive approach to training and education, with sports science and sports leadership A2 courses attracting an increasing number of students utilising the practical exam component to support their studies.

HTIS Head, Mrs Pam Leek-Wright, explaining the school’s dynamic approach to sports education stated: “Sport continues to be a major draw at Holy Trinity for students looking to study a range of sports courses in our sixth form, and throughout the school, and in certain circumstances some senior students have even had the opportunity of taking sports examinations at the age of fifteen, gaining exam success by sixteen, two years earlier than their contemporaries.”

Through creative management of the school’s timetable, HTIS provides a firm foundation for student training. This includes driving them to and from training sessions and creating close links with their sports coaches, allowing the school to keep up to date with individual study progress. Such subjects covered are, NVQ Sports Recreation and Allied Occupations and the Kidderminster Harriers’ Activity Leadership Level 2 course. Throughout the study course students are carefully monitored, keeping track of any health or training issues that may occur.

Further to this, the school develops a close working relationship with its students, helping maintain its deep understanding andknowledge of each student’s individual academic and sporting successes, with students benefitting greatly from this type of supportive and inclusive structure.

Said Mrs Leek-Wright: “Our talented students benefit greatly from an holistic approach to education and training, which delivers academic success as shown by the grades they achieve in their chosen subjects.”

HTIS’s extended sports curriculum has attained county triumph, across of range of sports including football, rugby, cricket, cross country, swimming, hockey, netball and the British Schools boys and girls biathlons, with the school in preparation for an InterIES sports competition to be held in Guayaquil, Ecuador this coming May, 2011.
