The Government provides funding to each school to improve the quality of sport and PE for children in primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and, therefore, can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
At Brookside Primary, we are committed to ensuring appropriate and relevant PE & sport provision for all of our children. This is evident through the range of sports and activities that we offer in PE, through extra-curricular clubs, intra- and inter-school competitions. We utilise specialist staff in delivering high quality provision, alongside CPD. We recognise the importance of PE on the health and well-being of our children and the impact the PE curriculum and extra-curricular activities can have on the attitudes, confidence and achievement of all of our children.
Brookside Primary School uses the Sports Premium in the following ways:
- improve the engagement of all children in regular physical activity (working towards the 60mins/day recommendation)
- raise the profile of PE and sport in the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of staff in teaching PE and sport
- ensure a broad range of sports and activities are offered to all pupils
- increase participation in competitive sport (inter and intra-school)
- identify, support and engage all children, including those identified as the least active, in sport and physical activities
- improve resources to support the development of the subject
- invest in Rushcliffe wide school sports leadership to enhance access to competitions, festivals and coaching expertise
