All pupils should leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

The objective is to achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools.

1.  To improve the quality of PE and sports provision for all current and future pupils.

2.  To increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils.

3.  For schools to understand and value the benefit of high quality PE and sport.

4.  To increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport.

Indicators of such improvement will include:

·        The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity kick-starting healthy active lifestyles

·        The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement

·        Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport

·        Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils

·        Increased participation in competitive sport

Our aim is to ensure that PE teaching at Montgomery Primary Academy is outstanding; that all of our children are involved in a range of sports activities within PE, extra-curricular clubs, competitions and external associations/clubs. Sport is a powerful tool for improving life skills such as behaviour, co-operation and gaining a sense of fair play. Our children also take great pride whenever they represent the school, and we wish to continue to develop this sense of identity and celebrate our pupils’ sporting achievements. We aim for all our pupils to become physically literate, equipping them with the Knowledge, Skills and motivation to lead a healthier lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

In order to achieve our aims we will:

●    Ensure that all our pupils have a minimum of 2 hours of high quality physical activity a week through PE lessons and extra-curricular activities

●    Provide a wide range of daily extra-curricular opportunities through breakfast clubs and lunchtimes with an Intra school sports competition.

●    Train and support class teachers regarding all aspects of PE.

●    Support and engage less active children through new or additional Change4Life clubs.

●    Run and enter range of sport competitions, increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games and other competitions.

●    Purchase and maintain equipment to maximise the opportunity and progression of our students in PE and sport.

●    Offer the opportunity for all pupils to access a wide range of after school sports clubs and holiday clubs.

●    Promote and support health and wellbeing to our pupils, engaging their families and the wider community.

●    Strengthen our relationships with sporting organisations building club links as a gateway for pupils to continue participation beyond the schools provision.

●    Partake in CPD to continuously develop our staff’s skills and knowledge ensuring we are delivering best practice.

●    Raise the profile of our sports through celebratory assemblies, blogging and social media activity.

●    Have a wider impact on other subjects supporting the schools ethos and contributing towards whole school improvement.
