Sports Premium

What is the Sports Premium Grant?

The Government in England has provided additional funding of over £150 million per annum since 2013/14 to improve PE and school sport in primary schools. From September 2017, the funding will be doubled to enable primary schools to make further improvements to the quality and breadth of the PE and sport they offer. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. 

Percy Shurmer Academy provides a wide variety of physical activities for pupils, both during the school day and through extra-curricular clubs. Clubs are run for all year groups in KS1 and KS2. Through sport and other physical activities, they learn to increase their body control, coordination, dexterity, fitness and skill levels in a wide range of sports. Pupils also learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and members of teams. They learn to cooperate and to compete fairly.

The objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:

1. To improve the quality of existing PE teaching.

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

3. To ensure schools understand and value the benefit of high quality PE and sport.

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

What is our aim?

Percy Shurmer will receive £9,776.00 per annum for the next 3 years. Our aim is to ensure that PE teaching at Percy Shurmer Academy is consistently outstanding and that all of our children are involved in a range of sporting activities delivered through PE, extra-curricular clubs, inter and intra school competitions and involvement with external associations and clubs. Sport is a powerful tool for improving life skills such as behaviour, co-operation and gaining a sense of fair play; these are all skills needed for our children to become responsible citizens. Our children take great pride when representing the school; it is also our aim to continue to provide the opportunities where they can develop this pride alongside a sense of identity and belonging. Our aim is to provide opportunities, encourage participation and celebrate our pupils’ sporting achievements. 

How have we used the Sports Premium Grant?

Over the last academic year, the Sports Premium Grant has enabled us to develop our sports provision in a number of ways:

1. We run a variety of sports clubs

2. We have created an Intra-school competition system during lunchtime in KS2.

3. We have improved our playgrounds by buying new, dynamic equipment.

4. We have increased the participation in sports competitions outside of the school.

5. We have offered our children the chance to participate in less common sports.

What have we planned for 2017-18?

We are committed to ensuring that all our pupils have the opportunity to develop skills and fitness in both competitive and non-competitive sports. To achieve this goal over the next twelve months, we will continue to ensure that children have a minimum of 2 hours high quality physical activity a week through PE lessons and extra-curricular opportunities.

We will also:

1. Provide continuous CPD for staff ensuring latest practices and successful teaching methods are being used.
