PE and Sport Premium

What is the PE & Sport Premium?

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pe-and-sport-premium-for-primary-schools

Since 2013, the Government has provided substantial primary school sport funding. This funding was being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and will see money going directly to primary school Headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.

Schools have to spend this funding on improving our provision of PE and sport, but we have the freedom to choose how we do this.

Possible uses for the funding include:

• providing professional development to increase staff confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
• providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
• offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
• buying necessary equipment to enhance PE and Sport.

Funding for 2024 to 2025

How do we be spend the PE & Sports Funding and who benefits?

The Governors agree that the money must be used so that: all children benefit regardless of sporting ability; that the most able children are given the opportunity to compete in advanced tournaments; that staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development.  We feel that this is the most effective and efficient way for the funding to have a long lasting and positive effect on future learning and physical development of children within our school.

Objective –To raise the quality of teaching PE and sport in school, ensuring that standards are at least good at Hillside and that this is sustainable we will:

Hire qualified sports coaches to work alongside teachers when teaching PE We will pay for an external specialist sports lesson provider to enhance the teaching of PE to all pupils and to raise the quality of teaching PE and sport in school whilst aiding children’s physical development and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.Our teachers will observe and participate in sessions to develop their own skills in curriculum PE teaching.Not only will the children benefit from being taught by a specialist coach but our own staff will be developed through sharing good practice and assisting in the PE lessons.

Provide places for pupils in after school sports clubsWe offer clubs for boys and girls football, dance, gymnastics, netball, tag rugby, multi-sports training, balance bike, yoga & mindfulness. Some clubs will run throughout the year, however others will run at various times of the year.  Clubs are lead either by Hillside staff or by outside agencies. Clubs provided by external agencies will incur a fee. Clubs ran by members of Hillside staff may incur a small fee to cover the cost of any resources required and/or the cost of staff time after school hours. Details are subject to change.Coaches will prepare children for tournaments and performances, offering specialist training to support ‘Team Hillside’. We will ensure that these are sustainable at budget setting.

Provide opportunities for children to competeWe will affiliate to the Hanley Primary Schools Sports Association and our PE & Sport Leader will arrange tournaments and fixtures between the cluster primaries, whilst offering exit routes for our more gifted children, allowing them to compete against other children at a higher level. Hillside pupils have represented the town and city teams, we feel it is important that children who are more able in sport are given the chance to participate against others of a similar ability and potential and these opportunities are continual.

Provide training for lunchtime supervisors to introduce playground games at lunchtimesLunchtime Supervisors who engage with children’s play can transform lunchtimes. At Hillside, our Lunchtime Supervisors will be trained to continually offer children a positive play opportunity during the lunchtime break.

Continue to enlist the support of Playground Leaders and School Sports CrewTraining will be provided to all Playground Leaders to ensure they are fully equipped to support the lunchtime supervisors in the delivery of lunchtime games and activities.The School Sports Crew will be elected and then support the staff in the running of the annual sports day as well as leading warm-ups in class PE lessons.
