Primary Schools' PE & Sports Premium Funding
At Moor Park Primary School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children. We aim to develop the children's physical literacy where they are encouraged to be passionate, motivated and successful. We aim to develop crucial skills and attributes which are required for children's long term future. We promote a healthy, active lifestyle which will equip children for life long participation in physical activity. We deliver a broad and balanced curriculum which enthuses, inspires and embeds Moor Park's key characteristics so that children can fulfil their potential and become the best they can be.
Our Primary School PE & Sports Funding enables us to continue and extend our provision through employing additional sports professionals, providing Change4Life opportunities and training our staff to deliver in-house quality PE sessions.
What is the PE & Sports Premium?
The government funding is to help pupils be more healthy and active and schools are required to use it to make sustainable improvements to the PE sport and physical activity we provide. Here at Moor park we receive around £19,000 a year.
Purpose of the funding
Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Uses of the funding include:
- Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
- New or additional Change4Life sport clubs
- Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
- Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
- Running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games
- Buying quality assured professional development modules or material for PE/sport
- Providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and residential visits
- Providing lunchtime activities to ensure that pupils work towards spending 30min active each day
