Sports Premium

Sports Premium Funding

All schools receive funding for PE through the Sports Premium which is now in its twelfth year.   

We have continued to place importance on encouraging active, happy and healthy lunchtimes and we earned the Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) Gol Award for our lunchtime provision.  We have paid for sports coaches to run football sessions and ball games activities during lunchtimes.

We have continued to improve our staff confidence, knowledge and skills in the teaching of PE  through specialist teacher training.  This helped to ensure that we provided a curriculum that has a good progression of skills.  This also helped improve staff confidence to support and challenge the children where needed.

We paid for top-up swimming lessons for Year 6 pupils during the second half of the Summer term.

We attended inter-school competitions through the School Games and the PE and the Sport Premium Support Package.

We used this as follows:

Staff training

Teachers and HLTAs from Year 1 to 6 received training in Cricket.  Training was also given to staff in areas such as: rounders, tag rugby, learning through play, ball skills, attack and defence and orienteering.  26 children from Years 4 and 5 received play leader training.  This was provided through the specialist PE teacher sourced via the Sport Premium Support Package. 

Competitions and clubs

Pupils from Years 2 - 6 attended an Orienteering competition, a Multi-Skills competition, a multi-skills event, target sports and Change4Life events.

KS2 pupils from our specialist provision took part in a  Paralympics event hosted by a local school.

We held our School Games Day where our Year 6 pupils acted as leaders.  They ran carousel activities for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils and helped to organise the races. 

Football games have been run by coaches at lunchtimes.

We offered a Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 football club and gymnastics clubs in school; these ran across the whole year.

Specialist sports coaches

Two specialist football coaches worked alongside our midday supervisors to promote active lunchtimes three times a week,  They ran football matches for Years 3, 4 and Years 5 and 6.  They also ran ball games which focussed on Years 1 and 2 and Talking Base pupils.

PE equipment

Nearly £5,000 of equipment was bought to enhance our active lunchtimes and to support our PE lessons.  This included more scooters and trikes, equipment for Year R to improve their outdoor learning area and equipment to support inclusion.
