Sports Funding
Introduction
At Perivale, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and wellbeing of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.
What is the Sports Premium?
The government is providing funding of £150 million per annum to provide, ‘new and substantial primary school sport funding’. This funding is being jointly provided by the Department for Education, Department for Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all children. The sport funding will be ‘ring-fenced’ so can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Aims
To ensure children have opportunities to:
Lead healthy lifestyles
Enjoy Physical Education and Sport in school
Experience high quality Physical Education and Sport
Compete against their peers
Achieve sporting excellence
Purpose of Funding
Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. Possible uses for the funding include:
Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
- New or additional sports clubs
- Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/ sport
- Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/ sport
- Running sport competitions, or increasing participation in school games
- Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/ sport
- Providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and holiday clubs
Our PE Curriculum
A wide range of PE is delivered to the children, which aims to engage and inspire all. Sports taught are wide and varied, both during the day, and as extra-curricular clubs. Opportunities include:
- Gymnastics
- Striking and Fielding Games
- Net/Wall Games
- Invasion Games
- Dance
- Athletics
In addition, funds are used to employ Sports Coaches and this expertise is used to teach children from Year 4 – Year 6. The coaches are also deployed to work alongside our Lunchtime Staff to deliver an engaging project, ensuring access to a wide range of sporting activities during lunchtime.
As well as regular PE lessons, we also provide team competitions both in-house and inter-school.
The school is keen to provide a wide range of extra-curricular clubs for children throughout the year. The children enjoy the opportunity to work with coaches and have the chance to try new sports. We monitor participation and check uptake against gender, SEN, FSM.
