Southsea
Infant School understands the value of PE and School Sport and believes that
physical education should provide all children with a variety of opportunities
to allow them to enjoy physical activity and to be able to improve their own
personal skills and level of fitness through cooperative, competitive and
creative activities.
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. ·
To increase the professional development opportunities in PE/sport for
all our teachers which might include
providing cover to release primary
teachers for professional development in PE/sport.
· Increased access and participation in appropriate sport competitions. Over the course of the year the Head teacher, PE Manager and Governors
will monitor the impact of the funding on the above aims. The funding decisions
are based on the Ofsted Report ‘Beyond 2012 – outstanding physical education
for all’.
