Sports Premium Impact 

Sports Premium Statement

Abbeymead Primary School believes that Physical Education (PE) and Sports are an integral part of every child’s education and development.  We aim to inspire the next generation by providing a wide range of sporting opportunities that cater for children of all abilities. We feel that all children should have access to quality PE provision, with the intention of increasing the amount of young people taking part in regular sporting activity throughout their lives.

Fun, enjoyment, confidence, competence and self esteem are the forefront of our PE delivery.  Children in EYFS and KS1 develop the fundamental skills such as aiming and throwing, balance, co-ordination, control, and movement. In KS2 children are able to use these fundamental skills to develop their knowledge and understanding of invasion games such as football,  netball, tag rugby and hockey.  These skills are also transferable to striking and fielding games such as cricket and rounders, together with net games such as tennis.

Sports Development Coach

Mr Butler is our Sport Development Coach at school. Throughout the year, he works alongside teachers to plan, support and deliver enriching lessons to enhance our pupil’s knowledge and skills. In addition to this, Mr Butler offers a range of clubs throughout the year to meet the needs of all our pupils here at Abbeymead.

New Sports

This year at Abbeymead, we have introduced three new sports in to our curriculum: Yoga, Volleyball and Tri Golf.

EYFS and Key Stage 1 – Yoga

Lower Key Stage 2 (Year 3 and 4) Volleyball

Upper Key Stage 2 (Years 5 and 6) Tri Golf

How can I support my child’s with P.E?

At home, there are several different ways you can support your child to ensure they have a healthy lifestyle.

Start to work towards the school's Be Active and Healthy Award. The awards encourage our children to take part in a range of sporting activities and to develop a healthier lifestyle.

Join a local sports club - There are a variety of different sports clubs in and around Gloucestershire that your child could attend. Some clubs offer different age ranges so that your child carries out the activities with children of a similar age.

Do something together - You can stay active and healthy as a family by undertaking different activities.  These do not have to cost any money. Go for a walk around your local area, maybe even take a ball to throw or kick around. Get out on your bikes/scooters and go for a ride together. In addition to this, you can sign up for free events such as ‘Park Run’ (they have both adult and junior runs).

A balanced diet - A Balanced diet is just as important as exercise. Explore different recipes and cook healthy, balanced meals together as a family. You can also make meals fun. Use your artistic skills to turn your plate of food into a piece of art.
