PE And Sports Premium
PE and Sports Premium
Sport and increased physical activity have long been recognised as important areas to promote through education and beyond. Physical activity and playing sports is beneficial for the health of individuals but also has the capacity to bring communities together. The London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics created increased excitement about sport and inspired many to take up and participate in activities they had never tried before. The government recognised the importance of maintaining that interest and ensuring that the legacy of the Games continued, and so have invested millions of pounds into schools through the PE and Sport Premium. Since 2013 primary schools have been entitled to this funding in order to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

Physical development, which includes PE, swimming, MOVE and Sensory Processing work is vital to the children at Willow Dene. Through participation in PE, our children develop their motor skills and learn how to control their bodies in different and more refined ways, through personalised and engaging activities. They also acquire key values such as respect, co-operation and kindness. Our facilities are highly specialised and have been chosen to meet the wide variety of needs our children have. The PE and Sports Premium has meant that we are able to invest in specific areas we would like to develop as a school that will have long term effects on the health, well-being, learning and development of our children.
In order to assess the impact of the PE and Sports Premium we are able to reference pupil attainment using our Learning Journey assessment system, as well as through our Annual Reviews, MOVE assessments and discussions with staff and parents. We are then able to see if there are specific areas that children need to develop and if there are trends throughout the school.

Sustainability? |
|
- To further develop access and involvement in sports within the community:
|
Children will have increased opportunities to participate in sporting activities outside school through involvement in community sports. Children will develop their physical skills as well as their social communication when interacting with children and staff from other settings. |
Relationships will be forged with different organisations that will enable us to share and have access to a wider range of equipment, settings and resources. Staff will develop new skills and knowledge through new CPD opportunities and through taking part in more off-site activities. |
|
- To further develop our personal fitness provision in order to provide targeted and more general fitness programs for children, families and staff:
|
Children and their families will have access to targeted fitness intervention where appropriate and more general fitness provision within class. Staff will have access to professional support for managing physical needs including back and shoulder pain. Equipment will be longer lasting and fit for purpose to meet the demands of the children at Oakmere. Children at Swingate will have access to equipment to improve fitness at playtimes and throughout the day. |
Staff will work alongside the personal trainer in order to improve their own understanding of fitness and be able to support children in their programs even when the trainer is not there. Knowledge and advice from the personal trainer will be disseminated through to the children, staff and families, involving everyone at different points and improving fitness and lifestyle for all. Staff will be fitter and more able to manage and improve aches and pains. Gym equipment will be robust and better quality to prevent damage and improve outcomes. Equipment for the playground will be durable, fixed and robust. |
|
- To improve the quality and efficiency of our equipment storage to ensure it is easy to access, space saving, and better protected from damage:
|
Equipment being stored in the large hall will enable all to see what we have and will free up space for us to invest in more equipment generally. Ease of access will mean that staff are more able to take equipment out and more likely to put it back correctly to ensure equipment is not damaged, is stored safely and is easy to find. This will improve PE sessions as equipment will be easier to be used and will be in better condition. |
Equipment will last for longer through quality storage solutions which make damage less likely and will improve usage of equipment. Staff will be able to see and access the equipment we already have, and this will lead to an improvement children having maximum time to learn, rather than spending time storing equipment. |
|
- To further build upon sustainable and durable equipment to use for exercise and sensory regulation throughout the day and for dedicated PE sessions:
|
Children will have access to areas throughout the school that will enable them to regulate their sensory needs as and when they need to, particularly when transitioning. Resources will be used to support the work we have already put in place, particularly around dance. This will lead to children and staff developing their skills in a range of physical movements, particularly dance. |
Equipment purchased will be long lasting, durable and high quality. Break out areas around the school will be integrated into the corridors and will be particularly durable in order to be fit for purpose. Resources purchased will be high quality and durable. They will be timetabled in order ensure they are well looked after and preserved for intended sessions. |
