Context
The Government gives our school approximately £17,000 per annum to support the development of sport across school. The primary aim is to raise the profile of and improve the provision of PE and sport in school and to ensure healthy and active lifestyles.
Our school is using the funding to support DfE requirements by:
- Providing after school clubs
- Providing professional development opportunities for staff
- Running sporting competitions or increasing participation in school games
- Buying in quality assured professional development for schools
- Signposting children to after school sport clubs and holiday clubs
- Improving the range of equipment and support materials in school, to support PE delivery, both during and after school.
What have we done so far?
- Tracked the fitness of our children over 2021-22
- Trained our Lunchtime Staff and Sports Ambassadors on delivering physical activities to our children at lunchtime.
- Purchased a range of equipment to enhance our lunchtime provision and support the Sports Ambassadors.
- Offered training opportunities to our staff on improving the delivery of their PE lessons.
- Ran cooking clubs in KS 2 to improve children understanding of healthy eating as part of an active and healthy lifestyle.
- Asked parents for their suggestions on sports related after school clubs.
- Worked with the RRLC/St. Michaels, PE initiatives to increase the variety of sports clubs on offer and to increase children’s participation in sports competitions.
- Sent texts to parents whose children do not regularly bring PE’s kits to remind them of the importance of PE as part of the curriculum and healthy and active lifestyles, which has in turn seen staff noticing an increase in the number of children regularly bringing PE kits.
- Reviewed and re-launched our after-school clubs to include a termly sports club for all ages; attendees regularly monitored by Miss Cooper and Miss Eccles.
- Audited regularly and revised after school clubs, with new clubs being offered in line with children’s suggestions.
- The Brickhouse Voice is constantly involved in raising profile of our after-school clubs.
