PE and Sports Premium
Article 31:
Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.
Sports premium is additional money the schools received for pupils in years 1-6. The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across
-
the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
-
the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
-
increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
-
broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
-
increased participation in competitive sport
In the initial years at school (pre-school and reception class), PE lessons are focussed on confidence, balance and basic co-ordination skills.
As pupils develop skills, the range of activities broadens out to ensure all children experience a variety of different sports. Working with the Local Governing Board (LGB), parents and pupils, our staff will develop a timetable of ‘tasters’ and events, with local providers, so pupils can try activities and sports outside the usual curriculum offer. This maybe additional tennis, cricket or archery.
Last year AFET received £16,290 in P.E and sports premium.
As a school we were only open up to Year 2 (July 25) and as such do not report on Year 6 swimming proficiency.
From April 2025 we are now taking part in the WOW - Living Streets - Let's walk to school initiative.
Living Streets’ WOW – the walk to school challenge is back to help encourage as many children as possible to experience the benefits of walking to school. As you know, WOW is a pupil-led initiative where children self-report how they get to school every day. If they travel actively (walk/wheel, cycle, scoot or Park and Stride) at least once a week for a month, they get rewarded with a badge. It's that easy! What are the benefits of walking to school? • Children feel happier and healthier • They arrive to school refreshed, and ready to learn • Helps reduce congestion and pollution at the school gates What if we can’t walk to school? If driving, ‘Park and Stride’ to help your child earn their WOW badges. Park at least ten minutes away from the school and walk the remaining journey. If using public transport, hop off at least ten minutes away and walk the rest (recorded as ‘other’ on the WOW Travel Tracker). Where walking to school isn’t an option, we work with schools to establish a bespoke approach to WOW that works best for their pupils’ needs.
