Sports Premium

PE at Sproatley C of E Primary Academy has evolved over the years; it is our mission to keep growing this subject even further. We deliver a wide range of PE to our pupils, with the aim to engage and inspire every child. We believe whole-heartedly in our Christian vision of ‘ We encourage, build and hope together…no-one left behind’. All of our children participate in dance, gymnastics, swimming ( in Y5/6), athletics and team games all of which develop the important skills required for further sporting achievement. We want to provide as many opportunities for our pupils as possible so that they leave Sproatley physically literate and have a life-long desire to take part in sport and keep healthy.

PE is offered to pupils in Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), right through to Year 6, twice a week. As well as delivering quality-first PE lessons ourselves, we also seek PE provision from Tigers Trust.  We run a Tigers Trust PE club throughout the year, targeting the whole school in a range of activities. We buy into the Holderness School Sports Partnership which gives our children opportunities for competitive sports within our local schools cluster. 

Swimming is one of the few subjects which could one day save your life. We value it to the extent that we ensure that a high percentage of pupils leave us water confident by the end of their primary journey and thus meeting the National Curriculum requirements.

We like to think that our staff have a passion for teaching PE and regular CPD opportunities are readily available and offered to them. Mr Daddy, who is the sports teacher from Tigers Trust, teaches high-quality PE sessions to the whole school each week and our teachers observe these sessions as part of their ongoing PE CPD. 

PE and Sport Premium, is government funding provided to primary schools in England to improve the quality of their physical education (PE) and sports programs. The funding is only spent on sports and PE provision; we think carefully about what to spend the funding on which will further enhance the PE provision in school. 

Areas we have developed so far: 

• Invested in PE specialists to deliver quality-first lessons.
• Provided professional development and training for staff. 
• Developed and added to existing PE and sports activities. 
• Audited and replaced resources, including purchasing new equipment which is inclusive to all pupils. 
• Increased pupils’ participation in competitive inter-school sports events through our partnership with Holderness School Sports Partnership

Please see the following documentation to see how we have spent the funding and the impact it has had in our school.
