PE and Sport at Shaw Ridge Primary School
The DfE is committed to getting children active whilst in Primary Schools – this is what they say:
All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation, and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.’
‘The PE and Sport Premium can help primary schools to achieve this aim, providing primary schools with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils.’
We use our government funding for Sport and PE in a variety of different ways including:
- The purchase of physical resources i.e. Sports equipment, running track
- Increase participation in competitive sport – buying into various leads
- Subsidised swimming activity
- Increasing the profile of sport across the school
- Provide staff with additional development and mentors to help them teach sport more effectively
- Raise the attainment of KS2 children to enable them to swim 25 metres by the time they leave Primary school.
- Raise the attainment of KS2 children to enable them to swim 25 metres by the time they leave Shaw Ridge.
- Develop opportunites for less active children to be involved in sporting activities
