Sport Premium grant
In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150m for physical education (PE) and sport. The Sport Premium grant funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. This funding is ring-fenced to be used for sport-specific areas, to make an impact in PE and sport in schools.
Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.
2020-21 plans for the funding
We will use the funding in the following areas:
- opportunities for physical activity at unstructured times
- all children to be encouraged to participate in a range of physical activities
- activities to be developed so that children can consolidate skills and allow them to follow sporting interests
- children to receive two hours of PE weekly to ensure the recommended active time
- school staff shadow Retford Oaks Academy PE experts and teach follow up lessons to ensure good or better teaching of PE
- teachers to use movement within other areas of the curriculum. e.g. Daily Mile/Go Noodle
- consolidating the PE faculty with PHSE and RE to raise the profile of PE and sport, bringing assessment and attainment processes in-line with the rest of the school. This will help to raise the focus of sport/healthy lifestyles across the school
- develop opportunities to engage in competitive sport at a range of levels
- competitive intra-school games opportunities every half-term planned into PE long-term plans
- Sporting Futures events to encourage participation of children who might not otherwise engage in sport. This includes a range of inclusive opportunities
