Sports Premium

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport.  This funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.

Funding will be allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase pupils, including:  primary, middle, special and non-maintained special schools, academies and pupil referral units from 1 September 2013.  A typical primary school will receive about £9,250 annually in the academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15.

Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.

Alongside numeracy and literacy, Sports Premium will be the third area to be inspected by Ofsted therefore it is vitally important that we utilise the funding effectively.

Our School two year plans

At our school we are planning to invest this additional funding into a sustainable development programme.  At the end of the two year funding period our staff delivering PE will be more confident and competent, AND our students will have access to additional and extending PE and Sport Opportunities.  As a whole school we will offer healthy lifestyle programmes including new Change4Life clubs for our least active pupils and the more able performers will be extended to their full potential.

Gloucester School Sports Network

As our school commitment to this we have affiliated to the Gloucester School Sports Network.  This collaborative working will provide enhanced opportunities for students and staff alike to develop PE and School Sports.  The following areas will be covered.

• Pupil participation opportunities – festivals and events (Dance, KS1, Christmas, Easter and Summer Multi-Skills.
• Pupils competition opportunities – Cross Country/Gymnastics/Rugby/Hockey/Swimming Gala/Athletics/Rounders
• Staff continual professional development – High Quality Physical Education/Sport Specific
• Curriculum support – activities as required
