Following the success of the 2012 London Olympics the government is providing additional funding of £150 million to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

At Southsea Infant School the funding is being used to deliver the following projects and initiatives:

·         To hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside our teachers when teaching PE to increase             their professional knowledge, skills and confidence when teaching sport.

·         To improve the quality and quantity of materials for PE/sport in our school.

·         To increase the provision of places and clubs for pupils outside school hours.

·         Increased access and participation in appropriate sport competitions.

Current plans for 2017-18 include:

1.       CPD for Staff - liaison with HT and PE Manager

·         All Staff will be supported with CPD for REAL PE lessons and Gym.

·         The Subject  Manager will provide support for adaptation of new SOW with links to topics and/or sport activities.

·         Other staff will attend courses appropriate to the area of need identified through the audit carried out.

2.       Provide all children with the opportunity of taking part in appropriate Level One competitions

·         Pupils will be selected to represent Southsea Infant at city-wide events over the academic year 2018 – 2019

·         Pupils will be selected through internal events.

·         Activities entered may include: Multi-skills, Tag Rugby, Football, Gymnastics, Tri-Golf  and Racket Skills.

·         Funding will be used to help transport pupils to the central venue events.

·         Subscription to Portsmouth PE Partnership. 

3.       Equipment and Resources
