Broad Town Church of England Primary School

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport you offer.

This means that you should use the premium to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity - the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport

• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• increased participation in competitive sport

Ways we aim to ensure improvements are sustainable:

1.  We aim to make PE enjoyable as people stick with what they enjoy. We offer variety such as team sports, boxercise, golf, dance, outdoor activities etc. 

2.  We ensure that staff have opportunities to observe specialists to support in developing their knowledge and skills. 

3.  We provide opportunities for staff to observe best practice within the school. 

4.  Staff have access to PE resources to support their teaching and ensuring a focus on skills and progression. 

5.  We teach skills for life with warm ups and cool downs and how to exercise properly.

6.  We celebrate effort and progress which motivates all ability levels. 

7.  PE doesn’t exist in isolation.We encourage active breaks and extra curricular sports

8.  Active movement is included in a range of other subject areas and themed days and weeks e.g. outdoor learning activity days, forest school activities. 

We believe PE improvements are sustainable when they’re enjoyable, skill-based, consistently practiced, well-supported, and focused on lifelong activity—not short-term performance.
