PE and Sports Premium

The Primary PE and Sport Premium was introduced to improve the provision of physical education and school sport in primary schools across England. The funding is allocated directly to primary schools and is ring-fenced. This means it may only be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport in schools.

The documents below detail our school’s use of PE and Sport Premium. 

Peakirk-cum-Glinton Primary Academy has a clear vision regarding PE and sport that is centred on offering pupils an enriching, challenging and imaginative programme of study. Our philosophy towards the teaching and learning of PE is not only focussed on ensuring that every child leads an active, healthy life but also to allow them to explore and enjoy a wide range of sporting activities. We believe that a high quality curriculum that fulfils this philosophy helps to foster learners who are resilient and persistent in all aspects of the curriculum. PE and sport therefore is fully integrated into the ‘creative curriculum’ at Peakirk-cum-Glinton Primary Academy and is a prevalent part of daily school life. The school itself has built a fantastic reputation for its sporting achievements which is a direct result of the positive attitudes that continue to be demonstrated by pupils and parents/carers. Regular opportunities for children to compete help them to develop ambition and confidence in each individual sport.

PE and sport is led by a PE coordinator whose role is supported by the head teacher, all members of staff, and school forum members. This role ensures that teaching and learning remains creative and adapts to the changing interests and needs of individual pupils.

The school has a hall which is fitted with a range of gymnastics equipment and provides a safe place for children to experience: dance, gymnastics, aerobics (circuit training), handball and orienteering activities. This space also offers a valuable opportunity for children to demonstrate and share their sporting achievements in whole school assemblies through award ceremonies and performance opportunities. 

Outside we have a large field that accommodates our 'Daily Mile' track and a trim-trail. In addition to this, the children have access to a large playground equipped with basketball hoops. Some of the sports explored in these outdoor spaces include: football, rugby, netball, basketball, hockey, athletics, cricket, orienteering, tennis, rounders, and badminton. The opportunities given to children in PE lessons are broad, engaging and inclusive. This wide range of opportunities for children to excel in a particular sport is also reflected in the large number of out of school clubs, some of which are run by staff. Other clubs are run by independent professionals who support our curriculum teaching and provide coaching for staff.

At Peakirk-cum-Glinton, children not only enjoy the PE and sport that they encounter but they also value its positive impact on their learning. Children are engaged, enthusiastic and thrive in their PE lessons, gaining confidence in their abilities and new drive to take responsible risks. We therefore feel it is our duty to ensure that our upcoming sports funding (Sports Premium) is spent wisely to invest in maintaining a high standard of PE and sport in school. This then ensures that we have a positive impact and work towards fulfilling the goals of the Olympic legacy.

So far we have used the funding to impact teaching and learning by:

• Buying in to a Sports Partnership where support from secondary school PE practitioners is shared with staff and competitions are organised in the local area
• Run intra and inter school sports competitions which increase pupils' involvement in competitive sport 
• Pay for professional development opportunities for class teachers
• Pay for professional development opportunities for PE co-ordinators to develop new initiatives and feedback to teachers to impact children's learning 
• Resourcing high quality sports equipment that gives children the best chance to explore high quality PE and sport

With the support of the sports premium, children’s opportunities in PE and sport at Peakirk-cum-Glinton continue to grow and the future therefore is very exciting for pupils.
