PE and Sport Premium Funding Impact Report

Purpose of the Funding

The government provides additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in 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.
 

Our P.E. Curriculum

P.E. develops pupils’ physical competence and confidence as well as their ability to perform a range of activities.  The self-discipline and collaboration expected of the children in sport impacts positively upon behaviour in the classroom.  It creates a positive work ethic and optimism, with skills that are transferable to the real world and can be taken with pupils throughout life.  The school now provides two hours of P.E. a week where skills are taught through physical education lessons, as well as swimming lessons for Year 4 children.   The wide range of P.E. lessons taught by our sports coach & class teachers aim to engage and inspire all pupils.   We believe in a holistic, inclusive approach where the athlete is developed physically and mentally, preparing them for their next chapter and a life of physical activity.
 

School’s Aims

In addition to the provision of P.E. lessons at St. Mary’s we also look for the following:

  • All children engaging in healthy exercise every day in addition to their P.E. lessons.
  • All children having an opportunity to engage in healthy competition with their peers and others in Inter-School competition.
  • All children being offered the chance to participate in after school activities that promote physical education, sport and healthy lifestyles.


Whole school Achievement

We are delighted to announce that the school was awarded the School Games Mark Silver Award. (In one year!!)  This reflects the hard work and the commitment of the PE Coach, all the staff and children to improving our provision, enjoyment of and our achievement of PE at St Marys Catholic Primary School. Physical Education and Sports is fundamental to St Marys  and to all our lives

Before / After School Activities

  • Multi Sports clubs for each year group
  • Boys & Girls Football
  • Karate
  • Yoga
  • Chess
  • Crochet
  • Choir

Partnership Work

Our school is part of the Waltham Forest Sports Network which meets regularly to organise competitions for the children and share good practice. We find this beneficial as it gives our children the ability to participate frequently in Inter-School competitions that promote teamwork, sportsmanship and perseverance.  This network includes other local primary and secondary catholic schools as part of the Aquinas Teaching & Learning Trust. 

We are building relationships with local clubs in the community including Orion Harriers Athletics Club, Chingford CC, Chingford RFC, Leyton Orient FC, and local Tennis, Basketball & Netball clubs.

Impact summary

Impact area

Summary

What has been the impact on pupils’ participation?

 

We have seen an enthusiasm in children’s attitude towards PE. Not only are we seeing an increase in skill acquisition, we are witnessing an improved attitude towards “game-playing” with children respecting the rules, officials and opposition.

What has been the impact on pupils’ attainment?

We regularly attend external sports events and have seen an amazing upturn in performance. Our external extra-curricular clubs are full and extremely popular. 

How will the school sustain the improvements?

We need to continue to offer a wide variety of sporting experiences and to give the children more of a “voice” on our curriculum.
