Sport at Brunswick Park
The government provides additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced. Schools must use the PE and sport premium to:
- build capacity and capability in the school and make sure that improvements made to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity provision now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future
- develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides
To best achieve this, spending should focus on making improvements in 5 key areas, to assist in:
- increasing confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sporting activities
- increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sporting activities
- raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
- offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
- increasing participation in competitive sport
These may be achieved by:
- embedding physical activity into the school day by encouraging active travel to and from school and having active break times
- providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
- helping to provide equal access for all pupils to the range of sports and physical activities that the school offers
- providing continued professional development (CPD) for all staff
- providing extra-curricular opportunities for children to enable them to access other sporting activities or specialist sport instruction
- providing top-up swimming and water safety lessons for those pupils that do not meet national curriculum requirements after they have completed core swimming and water safety lessons
- providing specialist support to help children with additional needs to access and participate fully in PE lessons
- entering local school competitions and holding inter-house competitions in the school to encourage participation
