Background

Following the 2012 London Olympics, it was decided to provide extra funding for Primary Schools. PE provision is assisted at West Denton Primary  School (WDPS) by PE  premium  funding.

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum  from 2013 to 2020 to improve the provision  of Physical Education (PE) and sport  in primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only  be spent on the provision  of PE and sport in schools.

Schools must spend the additional  funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they  will have the freedom to  choose how they do this.

The Effect of Pupil Premium on Pupils' PE and Sports Participation and Attainment

Pupil Premium has been used effectively in school to provide our children with a range of sporting opportunities. This includes whole school cycling, dance and football.

All of our children are given the skills to ride a bike safely and confidently regardless of previous ability. They are also given the opportunity to take part in one-day and multi-day cycle rides, including overseas.

“I love cycling. At first I couldn’t ride a bike very well but after cycling at school I became more confident. I like to play on my bike every weekend now.”

The children are provided with professional dance tuition in school and learn to perform an exciting range of dance styles including ‘Street Dance’.

NUFC foundation provides professional football coaching to all children across each phase in school.

“I really enjoyed taking part in the sessions with NUFC foundation. After taking part I decided to join a local football team. I train each week and play matches at the weekend.”

How We Will Make Sure these Improvements are Sustainable

Staff are given the opportunity to attend a range of PE courses to enable them to update existing skills and develop new skills.

By providing CPD opportunities to staff, it ensures that PE and participation in sports is sustainable and relevant throughout the PE curriculum in school.

How the funding has made a difference to PE and sport participation

Evaluation of the impact of the sport premium funding will be carried out as  part of our self-evaluation arrangements in July 2020.
The self-evaluation will look at how we have used the sports premium funding to  improve the quality  and breadth  of PE and sporting provision, including increased participation  in PE.
It will evaluate  the progress made in PE but also  other areas of development such as self-esteem and confidence.
We will be able  to  compare the number of children involved in sporting activities in and outside of school.
The staff  are working  alongside external  agencies to improve  their own professional  development in improving the teaching of PE and sport.
In July 2020 we will have data to  support the impact of the sports premium  funding on pupil progress and involvement in sport.
