PE and Sport at Marine Park Primary School


PE and Sport at Marine Park Primary School

At Marine Park Primary School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that a creative, varied PE curriculum and sporting competition will have a positive impact on the attitude and academic achievement of all our children. Funding will enable us to continue to provide provision through hiring specialist coaching, training our staff to improve teaching and learning of quality PE and providing children with experience to compete in competitive competitions.

Vision

A creative and balanced PE curriculum is fundamental in providing children with outstanding PE, school sport and physical activity. Children will be empowered to lead positive, informed attitudes towards lifelong participation. Provision will challenge, nurture and engage children, leading to a positive healthy lifestyle.

 

What is, Primary PE and Sport Premium?

The government is spending over £450 million on improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools over the 3 academic years 2013 to 2014, 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016.  The premium should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision and provide new and substantial primary school sport. The funding is 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. Each school will receive £8,000 plus an extra £5 per pupil each year for the next two years - here at Marine Park Primary School that will mean around £9,000 a year.

 

How is the funding spent?

Funding can be spent on the following:-

  • hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers during PE lessons
  • support and involve the least active children by running after-school sports clubs and holiday clubs, e.g. the Change4Life clubs
  • provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers
  • run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
  • run sports activities with other schools

Accountability

Schools will be held to account for how they spend the sport funding. Ofsted will strengthen its coverage of Sport and PE within Inspectors’ Handbook and supporting guidance. Schools will be required to include details about their sporting provision on their school website, alongside their curriculum details.
