Sports Premium money is allocated to all primary schools with a vision of creating children that are physically literate and that have the skills, the knowledge and the motivation in order that they are in a position to lead healthy, active lifestyles for the duration of their life.

With this vision in mind, St John Fisher CVA felt that there were a number of priorities. Firstly, the school wanted the opportunity for children to take part in a range of competitive sports. Secondly, the school wanted to increase teacher confidence to ensure a varied curriculum.

 

School Sport funding 2016/2017

From 1st September 2013, each primary school received funding to help increase PE expertise in school. This funding should provide a lasting legacy as it is only secured for two years. We intend to spend the money in various ways.

  • Funding will be spent on staff development, ensuring staff receive training in specific areas of P.E.
  • We will continue to update our P.E resources to ensure that P.E is enjoyable for all students through a wide range of resources.
  • Increased opportunities to attend a range of sporting competitions, including transport and resources/equipment required.
  • Continuous liaison with St Paul’s P.E department and specialist P.E staff, to come into school and work on specific areas of the P.E curriculum.

What has the impact been?

The overall impact is shown in:

  • A wider range of activities available to our children
  • More children knowing and understanding that regular, physical activity is the best antidote to eliminate obesity and maintain an acceptable body weight.
  • Improved fitness levels during P.E. including muscular and cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility.
  • Increased confidence in physical abilities, leading to positive feelings and increased self-esteem.
  • Development of the notion of fair play, honest competition and good sportsmanship
  • More children able to access sport
  • The sports crew at lunch-time has led to an uptake in sports participation by children who were previously not sports active at recreation time.
