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. Of course, we also spend a lot of time learning how to change clothes independently.
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.
