Sports Premium

P.E. and Sport Premium

Rationale

As a school we feel it is very important for our pupils that sport and physical education are high profile and that they have access to a wide range of sporting opportunities.

The location of the school presents its own challenges in terms of our facilities and that we have no playing fields and are surrounded by housing and a main road. Therefore, a major focus of our spending is to ensure we offer opportunities to all our pupils including access to various external events, for example Medway Youth Games. We want all our children to become more active and now offer them a rich and varied PE curriculum including many after school clubs.

All year 5 children attend Medway Park for swimming lessons in a block of six weeks and some of our funding is used to hire Life Guards and coaches. If any year 5 child does not make expected progress, we ensure they attend during year 6.

Our allocation of the PE Sport Funding supports our whole school vision and ethos to ensure that all our children ARISE.

What is Sports Premium?

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

The funding should ensure:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, encouraging healthy active lifestyles.
The profile of PE and sport is raised across the schools and is used as a tool for whole school improvement.
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
A broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
Increased participation in competitive sport.

Possible uses for the funding include:

Hiring qualified coaches to work with teachers
Providing existing staff with training and/or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
Introducing new sports and activities
Running sports clubs and activities
Increasing pupil participation in school competitions

How is All Saints School using the Sports Premium?

After careful consideration, it was decided that the funds should be spent in the following areas:

To improve the provision of PE and school sport ensuring opportunities are given to all.
Take part in competitive school sport for years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
To make the very best use of the facilities within the school grounds
To identify and engage with children to promote health choices through a wide variety of free after school clubs.
To upskill our teaching staff

At All Saints School we currently allocate funding in the following ways:

To sign up to Greenacre Sports Partnership where qualified coaches teach our pupils at after school clubs, ensuring there is a wide range of sports provision on offer.
To take part in Mini Youth Games
Provide cover staff to release teachers to attend sporting events
To introduce new initiatives such as the development of Play Leaders
To focus on early intervention in promoting balance and co-ordination through use of interventions such as Fizzy and the use of outdoor gym equipment leading to potential improved motor skill development.
To ensure planned opportunities within PE and sport enhances pupils’ social development.
