It is a statutory requirement for primary schools to publish, on their school websites, how much PE and sport premium funding they receive, a full breakdown of how they have or will spend the funding, the effect of the premium on pupils’ PE and sports participation and attainment, and how the school will make sure these improvements are sustainable. One of the key purposes of putting information on the school website is to keep parents informed, so this information should be written in a format that is clear and easily accessible.

It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following five key indicators:

1. The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
2. The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
4. Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
5. Increased participation in competitive sport

How to use the primary PE and sport premium

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer. This means that you should use the premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers.
• Make improvements to the current teaching of PE that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

For example, you could use your funding to:

• Hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers.
• Provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively.
• Introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport.
• Support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs.
• Run sport competitions.
• Increase pupils’ participation in the school sports games.
• Run sports activities with other schools.

The PE and sport premium grant cannot be used to employ coaches or specialist teachers to cover planning, preparation and assessment (PPA) arrangements or to provide swimming lessons for pupils.

The DfE PE and Sport Grant for 2015-16 is £9600.

Our aim is to continue to deliver two hours of high quality physical education per week to our pupils. Offer additional opportunities through clubs and activities that engage and educate our pupils to develop healthy, active lifestyles and a lifelong appreciation and understanding of the benefits of physical activity and sport. Increase the confidence of staff to teach Physical Education through specific CPD and training. Provide children with the opportunity to participate in quality competitions throughout the year.

This grant has been used to:-

• Offer our pupils a range of different sporting opportunities across the school both during school time and through extra curricular activities.
• Increase opportunities to those children who do not participate in sporting or physical activities.
• Provide quality CPD and training to staff.
• Purchase additional equipment for use in PE lessons and extra curricular activities..
• Cover staffing and transportation costs to various sporting competitions throughout the year.

The school has topped the North Tyneside School Games League Table for a third consecutive year and receiving a commemorative plaque. Our school has also been awarded the Youth Sports Trust Gold Quality Mark for a second successive year. Well done to all our pupils, staff and parents who have enabled the school to achieve this award.

Congratulations to all the children who took part and a massive thank you to all the parents for their continued support particularly with extra curricular training and events.
