Physical Literacy Activtors Course

Through an innovative partnership with Sport Wales, Carmarthenshire County Council, and expertise from Cardiff Metropolitan University, Welsh Triathlon have created a physical literacy resource for schools. This involved researching improvements that could be made to the physical literacy of children, combined with triathlon activity in schools. The school’s resource is designed to empower teachers to deliver triathlon activities underpinned by physical literacy by being motivated, confident, competent and inclusive organisers that instil the same values in their school children. Teachers will have the ability to provide high quality physical activity sessions for their school children. They will have an impact on their pupils’ physical literacy journeys by delivering sessions that allow their pupils to develop their motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding, through triathlon and multi-sports. The one-day workshop, resource pack complete with session cards will be available to Local Authorities and schools across Wales in 2022.

Why is physical Literacy important for you and your school?

The Curriculum for Wales guidance is a clear statement of what is important in delivering a broad and balanced education. The four purposes are the shared vision and aspiration for every child and young person.

The four purposes:

Ambitious, capable learners, ready to learn throughout their lives

Enterprising, creative contributors, ready to play a full part in life and work

Ethical, informed citizens of Wales and the world

Healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society

Learners will be encouraged to develop the confidence, motivation, physical competence, knowledge and understanding that can help them lead healthy and active lifestyles which promote good physical health and well-being
