Impact of Sports Premium funding
Through the strategic use of sports funding, all children in Years 1 – 6 now have access to at least one extra-curricular sports-related after school activity every term (usually two).
These include:
Boys football, Girls Football, Multi-sports, Gymnastics, Yoga, Netball, Hockey, Circuit Training, Rounders, Athletics, Summer-Sports, Tennis and Dance.
Analysis shows that on average, 84% of pupils in Years 1 - 6 attend at least one after school sports club. A significant proportion of pupils are also active participants in external sports clubs and teams locally.
During 2016-2017, all pupils were provided the opportunity to participate in at least one Sporting Futures inter-school event , examples include: athletics festival, rugby day, mini-olympics, dragon-boating.
Monitoring of the standard of PE lessons shows that since 2014, the proportion of outstanding practice seen in PE has risen steadily. No PE lessons are ever less than good and all children receive quality PE provision. Children are enthusiastic and committed to PE and Sports and embrace new opportunities readily. This links with the school’s focus on Healthy Lifestyles through PSHE provision.
In liaison with the Inclusion Coordinator, children with additional needs now have access to ‘Sensory Circuits’ on a weekly basis.
Monitoring of playtimes and lunchtimes shows that children are accessing a wide range of physical activities, further developing their skills and confidence.
