Academic Year: September 2019 - August 2020

Total fund allocated:

£19,675

Purpose of the premium

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

The Secretary of State does not consider the following expenditure as falling within the scope of additional or sustainable improvement:

• employing coaches or specialist teachers to cover planning preparation and assessment (PPA) arrangements - these should come out of schools’ core staffing budgets
• teaching the minimum requirements of the existing PE curriculum.

Overview of St Mary’s Catholic Primary strategies for improving pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment and giving pupils the opportunity to develop a healthy, active lifestyle.

We spend our PE and sport funding in the following ways to improve PE and sport participation and to enable pupils to develop a healthy, active lifestyle: 

• Active Lunchtime activities – Athletic and Team games

·     Development of skills to enable personal and embedded success in sport and build resilience in all areas

·     Yoga – development of wellbeing activities to boost self-esteem, fitness and value of healthy lifestyle through exercise and appropriate challenge

       ·     Further develop confident ad highly skilled teachers enabled to teach all PE skills to a high standard

       ·     Develop healthy attitudes towards sports, indoor and outdoor pursuits which link to other aspect of the curriculum

Our rationale for spending the money in this way is:

• DFE research shows that good CPD is the most effective way to ensure outstanding attainment for children and motivate teachers
• National guidance on managing obesity through heathy lifestyle including exercise and eating healthily

How the improvements made will be sustainable in the future:

• All physical improvements will enable the sustainability of sporting activity during all seasons and in a variety of environments
• CPD enables well trained staff who are able to engage pupils in long term commitment to healthy lifestyle

A breakdown of the projected expenditure for the year 2019/20is shown below, together with its intended impact.
