Funding.
PE Sports Premium Funding
The government has provided funding to improve the provision of physical education
(PE) and sport in primary schools since September 2013. This funding equates to
approximately £150 million per year across the country. The funding is based on the
number of pupils in years 1 to 6.
Here at Prudhoe West because we are a First School, this is based on years 1 to 4.
During 2015/16 Prudhoe West First School will receive £9,127.
Physical Education (PE) develops pupils’ physical competence and confidence, and
their ability to use these to perform in a range of activities. It promotes physical
skilfulness, physical development and knowledge of the body in action. Physical
education provides opportunities for pupils to be creative, competitive and to face up
to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive
attitudes towards active and healthy lifestyles. Pupils learn how to think in different
ways to suit a wide variety of creative, competitive and challenging activities. They
learn how to plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to improve
their quality and effectiveness. Through this process, pupils discover their aptitudes,
abilities and preferences, and how to make choices about getting involved in lifelong
physical activity.
As a result we are very proud of our sports provision at Prudhoe West First School
where sport plays a significant role across school with the aim to provide the best
opportunities for all of our children. Sporting provision is fully inclusive and involves
competitive & non-competitive sport. We embrace all aspects of PE and sport. Our
curriculum and provision includes dance, gymnastics, games and multi-skills.
The impact of our PE and Sports provision is that all children take part in Sport
whatever their age or ability. We track attendance at clubs and adapt our provision to
ensure boys and girls have equal access. We have a rising attendance at clubs and
are aware of talents that would otherwise not be noticed. Coaches recognise talent
and suggest routes for children to follow. Our staff work in partnership with sports
professionals, developing their skills and knowledge and allowing children to access
sports previously not offered, such as tennis, cricket and tag rugby.
We have planned to spend the 2015/16 funding as follows:
hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with
teachers and children when teaching PE
Increase all children’s participation in PE through new or additional clubs.
paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and
sport
providing cover to release teachers for professional development in PE and
sport
running sport competitions, and increasing pupils’ participation in the School
Games
buying quality assured professional development materials for PE and sport
pooling the additional funding with that of other local schools to provide
further sporting opportunities, such as festivals.
Implement activities to supplement the PE and sport already established in
school.
