Extra-curricular clubs include: football, goal-keeping, circuit training, karate, dodgeball, netball, dance, basketball, tag rugby, athletics, cycle club, multi-skills, cricket and gymnastics.

There are many more events planned for the rest of the academic year such as: parents versus staff fixtures, staff charity events and staff versus pupil matches.

PE and Sport Grant

Background

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport, to be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. Funding has been allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase pupils from 1

September 2013. A typical primary school now receives as of this academic year £16,000 plus £10 for every child on roll annually. Funding has continued for 2018/19 and has remained the same as last year.

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.

Our school

In 2016/17 our school received: £ 9,897.00

In 2017/18 our school will receive: £ 20,200.00

In 2018/ 19 our school will receive: £20,200.00

This is how we are using the funding:

 Employing specialist PE teachers or qualified coaches to work alongside teachers in lessons to increase their subject knowledge and confidence in teaching PE

 Providing professional development for staff to lead after-school sports clubs

 Providing cover staff to release teachers for professional development in PE and sport
