School Sports Funding

The Government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education and sport in Primary Schools. This funding is ring fenced and therefore is only spent on the provision of sport in this school. Schools must spend the money on improving the provision of PE and sport, but we have the freedom to choose how we do this.

2018-2019

Please read the documents below which map out the spending and the objectives to raise the sporting profile at Parkside,

2015-2016

Mrs Unwin, as PE coordinator at Parkside, will continue to teach PE throughout the year groups, lead the organisation of sports clubs and develop the sporting teams within the school. 

Teaching staff from the PE department at Sir Graham Balfour will visit weekly to enhance the expertise of staff within our school. 

We have begun the process of setting up an outdoor learning environment within school which will enhance the 'outdoors and adventurous' elements of the PE curriculum.

We aim to enter a variety of sporting competitions this year following our increased participation last year. Funding will be used to develop the skills of our talented children by purchasing new equipment, devoting time to enhance their skills and transporting them to the various events. It is hoped that we will take more teams to the gymnastics competition in Birmingham in the new year.

The £7680 per year will be spent on:

• £3950 will be spent on paying for elitist coaching from Sir Graham Balfour in developing staff skills, providing tournaments each half term to compete with local primary schools and for using their resources; such as the climbing wall and trampolines in their sports hall. 
• £3000 (approx.) will be spent on boosting our resources:                                                                                                                                    Gymnastics equipment - linking mats                                                                                                                                                                    Athletics training resources - speed bounce mats, vertical jump, long jump mats, reach test equipment  e.t.c.                                                  PE necessities - various balls, bean bags, ball pumps and adapters e.t.c.

•  £200 (approx.) will be spent on competition fees (affiliation and entry costs).
• £320 - initial costings for new KS1 and KS2 football kits - we are looking at possible sponsors.
• The remaining funding will be used to purchase a set of smaller team t-shirts for our KS1 sports competitors, leaving a small contingency fund.

These costings will be more accurate once orders have been confirmed.

Last year we used some of our funding to purchase t-shirts, hoodies and caps for our teams to wear when representing our school. The children look smart and more importantly feel a sense of pride and belonging when wearing this uniform. 

The good news this year is that we already have a sports club up and running for our new Reception children.

2014- 2015
Mrs Unwin, the PE coordinator and sport specialist, will continue to deliver 1 PE session in all classes throughout the school each week during PPA sessions. We will continue to use the expertise of the staff at Sir Graham Balfour to develop PE in our school by working alongside the teachers in the delivery of the other PE session. After last year focussing on games and gymnastics, our primary focus will be on dance but we will also be strengthening our outdoors and adventurous units of work in Key Stage 2. The school will develop sports leaders and there are plans in place to develop our 'Healthy Eating' focus in school with the help of our healthy eating monitors in Year 4.

Mrs Unwin will track participation of each class and each gender. The focus in the autumn term is to increase the participation of Year 1 and 2 through multi-skills clubs run by the Year 5 and 6 children at lunchtime, for at least two per week. To improve the performance of the school in competitive games, the children will meet for half a term before tournaments with team focussed clubs and a development of an elite squad alongside full participation.

The £9000 per year will be spent on:

• £4000 will be spent on paying for elitist coaching from Sir Graham Balfour in developing staff skills, providing tournaments per week to compete with local primary schools and for using their resources such as athletics for all children at Sir Graham Balfour.
• £3000 will be spent on resources such as dance and for games at lunch time.
• £2000 will be spent on developing the role of Mrs Unwin providing national training courses so ensuring that as sports coordinator, she is aware of the latest developments based on the national agenda. This ensures that she is modelling outstanding PE sessions for all classes.
