PE and Sport Premium
Sports grant summary
Overview
The Government was providing additional funding of £150 million per annum for the academic years 2013 to 2017 to improve provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – was allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding has been extended and increased for the academic year 2017-18 and 2018-19.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

For 2017-18, the grant will be used to employ an external sports coach to deliver specific programmes in school for pupils with co-ordination difficulties or for pupils who find PE lessons difficult, and to work with Gifted and talented pupils. To ensure the provision meets the needs of the learners, ‘Learn to move, move to learn’ training will be provided for the external sports coach. The coach will also continue to oversee the school’s pupil play-leading programme and ‘Young Sports Leader’ programme.

2014-15
We have thought carefully about the ways in which Horrington Primary School’s children would most benefit from the Government’s Sporting Grant. So far, we have worked alongside Somerset Activity Sports Partnership (SASP) to further improve our delivery of PE across the Key Stages, to help develop our PE curriculum and to prioritise areas for development. SASP coaches have worked alongside class teachers to co-deliver PE lessons, observed and developed the practice of the school’s PE teacher and led training for lunch staff and pupil in leading play at lunchtime. Pupil play leaders now lead play at lunchtime and lead a ‘Change for Life’ Club. Some of the money funds ‘Wake and Shake’ sessions which all pupils attend once a week just before the school day starts. We have purchased new sporting equipment for use at lunchtimes and in PE lessons. The school has purchased a planning and assessment tool to aid staff in planning and delivering high quality PE lessons. To further enhance PSHE and PE delivery and to support assessment (both teacher assessment and pupil self-assessment) the school is purchasing a C-Touch interactive board for use in the school hall. In addition, we have worked with the Disability manager at SASP to identify and plan for local options to support the inclusion of children with disabilities, and as a result we have purchased equipment for Boccia and set up a Boccia Club. Further training for school staff and pupils with SASP is planned for the Spring and Summer term 2015.
