PE and Sport Premium

The National Curriculum requirements for  Swimming and water safety;

All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2.

In particular, pupils should be taught to:

• swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
• perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

At Vernham Dean Gillum’s Church of England Primary School 82% of our Year 6 pupils Jan 2019 have achieved the above outcomes.

 

Funding for the PE and sport premium – academic year 2018-2019

We receive PE and Sport Premium for our pupils in Years 1 to 6.  The amount is determined on how many pupils there are in our school from the January census and is variable each year.  As we are a school with 17 or more eligible pupils, this year we will receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil, £16,660. The money is given to us in two allocations from the local authority and must be used to fund improvements to the provision of PE and sport. This year’s allocation:

• 7/12 of our funding allocation will be paid to the local authority on 31 October 2018 £9695
• 5/12 of our funding allocation will be paid to the local authority on  3rd May 2019 £6925

 

Intended Outcomes for this academic year

• We will introduce new sports activities to encourage more pupils to participate in a variety of sport
• We will provide  our pupils with  active sports club at lunchtime and after school on Tuesday to promote healthy living
• We will increase  and improve the quality of teaching and learning in physical education through staff development
• We will increase pupils participation in  sport and ensure they are more active to develop healthy lifestyles
• We will participate in sports activities with other schools

 

Please note that the remainder of our allocation will be used to enhance sport at a later date in the academic year through Premium Education.
