SPORTS PREMIUM

WHAT IS THE SPORTS PREMIUM?

The Government provides funding directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children, the funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on physical activity, sport and PE provision in schools.

PURPOSE OF FUNDING

Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PESSPA, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

HOW WE SPEND THE FUNDING AND WHO BENEFITS?

The staff, children and governors at St. Cuthbert’s Primary all agree that the money must be used so that:

  • all children benefit regardless of sporting ability;
  • children are given the opportunity to compete and participate in festivals and competitions;
  • children are taught to be active for 60 minutes daily and we provide 30 minutes in school time to be active daily;
  • play times, which make up about 50 minutes of our school day, give pupils opportunities to be active and develop coordination, strength, balance and teamwork;
  • staff have access to resources and training opportunities, plus continued professional development to improve the quality of teaching and learning in physical education;
  • we explore ways to ensure that as many pupils as possible leave us able to be water safe and swim at least 25 metres,
  • children are exposed to a range of traditional and non-traditional sports and health enhancing activities through the curriculum, clubs and school visits.

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2022-23 ACADEMIC YEAR INCLUDE:

  • Participation in a range of competitions through Easington School Sports Partnership and local football leagues;
  • Winning medals in a wide range of competitions including amazing success at County level for three of our KS2 pupils;
  • investing in OPAL training and resources so our playtimes are more active and engaging
  • Developing an Active Week in the summer and working throughout the year with Easington School Sports Partnership so that all pupils get to participate in a wide range of activities and sports

WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER INCREDIBLE YEAR OF PE AND SPORT, OUR PRIORITIES FOR 2023/24 INCLUDE:

  • To ensure that all children are receiving high quality opportunities to participate and develop their skills in a range of sports and games;
  • To embed sporting interventions for targeted children to improve social, physical and emotional skills;
  • To continue to develop our after school club provision;
  • To continue to ensure all children are active each day and to link this with our wellbeing and PSHE work;
  • To develop our outdoor areas so children are active at playtimes;
  • To further develop the role of Young Sports Leaders to promote active time in school
  • To plan opportunities for family active sessions
