PE Premium 2015 - 2016
Grant: £10,000 approximately. The school spends £30,000 per year on sport opportunities for the children.
The school works in partnership with Premier Sport. The PE Premium grant enables the school to double the spend with Premier Sport who provide:
- A professional coach to teach PE 3x days per week for all children in the school during the year.
- CPD opportunities for staff to improve their skills.
- Daily lunchtime clubs timetabled for Y2 – Y6 (approximately 50 children each lunchtime).
- Two after-school or before school clubs which have included gymnastics, fencing and archery.
- In-school sports events eg Golden Mile, summer Sports Day.
Regular review meetings are held with Premier Sport in order to tailor provision for children. For example, gymnastics was provided as a club at the request of the children.
The school also allows Premier Sport to run holiday sports clubs on the premises so children in the community can access sports at these times. However this is not part of the partnership and there is a charge.
The impact of this additional money:
- Children have access to a higher quality of teaching and learning in sport.
- Standards in PE are good.
- More children are involved in a greater number of PE activities across the week.
- There is a greater variety of sport opportunities for children to experience.
PE Premium Report for 2014 – 15
The PE Premium awarded to the school this year totalled £9,000. The aims of the PE Premium are to spend the additional funding on improving school provision of PE and sport, but schools have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding might include:
- Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers when teaching PE;
- Supporting and engaging the least active children through new or additional Change4Life clubs;
- Paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport;
- Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE and sport;
- Running sport competitions, or increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games;
- Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE and sport;
- Providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and holiday clubs;
- Pooling the additional funding with that of other local schools.
The school has to report spending and impact on sport within the school.
- Buy-in of Premier Sport to provide two days a week of PE teaching, lunchtime sports clubs every day and after school sports clubs two days a week. This year the clubs included gymnastics in response to pupil demand and fencing as an alternative sport. Premier Sport are also involved in sports fundraising, provision on school INSET days and Sports Day. Cost: £17,000
- Impact: all children have access for a term to professional coaching in PE. All teachers benefit from professional development in observation of coaches to improve their own teaching of PE. Expansion of club provision at lunchtime and after school has given more children access to organised sports provision. Approximately 150 children attend lunchtime clubs and 20 children after school each week. Since changing the after school clubs from multi-skills which were undersubscribed, there is now full take-up on after school provision. For 2015 – 16 fencing is replaced with archery and there are three days after school clubs instead of two.
- Subsidy of after school clubs from outside providers to make them accessible and affordable. Expansion of provision (both in-house and external specialist provision) to encourage wider participation and attract children into sport or exercise. Cost depends on the club price and duration.
- Impact: In response to demand, karate classes now run twice a week and are fully subscribed for 40 children. In-house provision of football and netball clubs also run weekly involving 40 children. Other short term clubs eg dance are also provided. Including the Premier sports after school clubs, there are about 110 children currently taking part in after school sport weekly. For 2015 – 16 a dance club will be run through our partnership with Artis.
- Release time for PE Subject Leader to co-ordinate, organise and attend PE clubs and events, including selected borough events, Sports Days, fund raising sporting events (e.g. Sports Relief). Cost: cover costs for PE Leader to attend borough events, organise in-school events @ £200 per day. Estimated 10 days @ £2,000. The school also subscribes to borough events costs and organisation.
- Impact: opportunities for participation and competition in a variety of sports, focussing on getting more children involved. More children are suggesting sports activities they would like to take part in and sports based fundraising ideas so the profile is raised. Borough events attended this year include: two football tournaments, netball, hockey, swimming gala, gymnastics, tag rugby, kwik cricket, summer outdoor athletics events. Children from the school also participated in events for disabled children.
- Subsidy for Stubbers outdoor adventure residential for Y6. Some money from Pupil Premium subsidises this event for children on Free School Meals, but the school provides additional subsidy for coach costs and activities.
- Impact: full take-up of places available so as many children as possible get this opportunity. This year 45 children went to Stubbers.
- Swimming costs: £6,200 per year.
- Impact: swimming lessons in Y4, 5 and 6 ensure the vast majority of children achieve National Curriculum standard by the end of KS2.

The school is committed to the provision of sport opportunities. The PE Premium grant represents approximately 25% of the PE/sport spend each year.
