PE and Sport Premium

In September 2013, the new sports premium was introduced to every primary school with the aim of improving the quality of PE and school sport provision. The recent Government announced that funding will be available till 2020 based on schools showing impact of their spending. We are happy to announce our funding is continuing next academic year (2021-22). Funding is ring fenced for PE and Sport. Each school receives an £8000 lump sum with an additional £5.00 per child aged 5-11, based upon the January school census. We will receive approximately £18, 000.

St Christophers Evidencing the Impact of the Primary PE and Sport Premium 2021-22

 

How our funding was spent for the academic year 2020 to 2021

We recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of our 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. Our Primary School Sport’s Funding has enabled us to extend our provision.

  • Staff Training

As  a school  member of  professional  organisations  we are  able  to access training from other local schools, the local authority, national governing bodies for specific  sports  and national  agencies.  The funding is used to provide staff with access to relevant training as the curriculum and school require.

  • Upskilling staff / planning provision

The funding has given us the opportunity to deliver CPD every Wednesday for teachers and teaching assistants for the planning and delivery of PE. We bought into the Create Development planning and SOW for all year groups. This is currently being implemented and embedded into year 3 and 4. The aim is for it to be delivered across all year groups by December 2021.

Mission Statement (September 2021)

Our Mission statement for PE and School sport premium at St-Christopher’s  is to use the money to further support the teaching and delivery of curriculum PE as a whole school approach with staff CPD, alongside expanding the already strong programme of extracurricular activities to ensure pupils including targeted groups continue to develop and progress physically, socially, cognitively and emotionally.

As a school we believe in a holistic approach to the development of sport and physical activity for all of our pupils. This, in turn, will improve our provision, raise participation rates and achievement for all pupils. We are keen to build on our current good practice and use the funding in sustainable ways.
