PE and Sport Funding

www.gov.uk

Below is the current picture of how we have spent the grant allocation to date and the aims for further spend.

Whilst this funding has been guaranteed for a number of years we wholeheartedly believe the best way to create legacy from this opportunity is to ensure increased staff training and higher skills set. To this end we completed a staff audit at the start of the academic year 2020 - 2021 which has informed areas that we aim to strengthen with targeted CPD. We believe that children should develop a passion for PE and sports and lead active lifestyles. We continually check which children in our care are not partaking in PE or sports and endeavour to create an opportunity to accommodate them by using the grant to create extracurricular opportunities for those children.

This usually involved hiring a professional coach and can include ensuring our equipment is up to date and safe.

At Langley First School we already pride ourselves in offering as wide a variety of sporting opportunities as possible. However, this extra boost to funding brings some exciting opportunities and potential. We continually review our sporting offer by considering take up and participation.

Previous areas of spend and its impact.

What we have spent money on	When we spent	Why we have decided this.	Impact and Legacy
Improved play apparatus on the yard (Stepping Stones, Log Walks, Inclined Balance Weaver, Log Walk Weaver, Burmah Bridge) £2,931.32	January 2018	We hope the equipment will challenge the children to develop their climbing skills and increase their physical activity during break and lunch times.	The newest area of our playground has allowed the children to be more active at break times and has reignited the imagination of play for many children. All of the children have timetabled access to the area. The mid level apparatus and soft rubber surface allows the children to take appropriate risks in their play and encourage them to exercise and train their upper-body muscles on the climbing sections, while developing their balance on the rope bridges. Because of the surfaced area, children can make use of our trimtrail all year round. The area is robust and will allow members of our school to enjoy their break times for the foreseeable future.
Resurfacing on the area surrounding the activity trail. £11,521	January 2018	The surfaced areas will allow the children to make the most of the equipment in the area at all times of the year in a safe way, rather than just the dry months.
Developing a bespoke PE assessment tool for use in our school (On going)	Spring 2017	To create a bank of shared vocabulary that allows the children and staff to assess and progress in PE	Children are beginning to speak of their development in PE by using vocabulary that we have agreed to use. This is allowing them to recognise their accomplishments explicitly, whilst also targeting their own areas that can be developed.
Appointing a Sports Apprentice	Academic year 2016 - 17	To upskill our current staff on the physical aspects of PE lessons and provide extra PE opportunities in the school.	Staff have benefitted from witnessing new and effective activities and the way they can be applied across the PE curriculum. Clubs have been created and provided specifically for children in our care who don’t access extracurricular sports activities, ensuring that all of our children have experienced and taken part in an active club.
Transport to events (e.g. dance festival rehearsals and Y1 trip to football)	Ongoing	To allow us to attend as much competition as possible.	The children in our care are beginning to benefit from the social skills developed through team work and competition that these opportunities provide for us. As we take part in more competition, our school builds a legacy for future cohorts to build on. Accomplishments from the children motivate those who take part, and inspire the other children.
CPD to up-skill staff in the delivery of P.E. through working alongside experienced professionals	Dance and gymnastics in autumn term 2015	To ensure staff are confident with delivering high quality PE lessons.	The majority of our staff are confident when delivering all areas of the PE curriculum, and where this is not the case, it can be addressed swiftly. The children in our care are benefitting from consistently good quality lessons.
Provide staff with a wide range of resources for the teaching of P.E.	Ongoing	To ensure that our equipment is safe and appropriate for the activities that we teach in our PE curriculum.
Programmes and initiatives from external bodies to support healthy and active lifestyles within school.	Termly opportunities presented	To ensure that our school is combatting childhood obesity.	A strong partnership with PSHCE is beginning to develop to support a system that targets ‘the whole child’ and promotes a culture of active lifestyles.
Providing desired clubs for children who don’t participate in PE or sports	Consulted and revised on a termly basis	To ensure that all of the children in our care are taking part in a club.	On a termly basis, attendance of our extracurricular clubs is scrutinised. From there, we can target the individuals that will benefit the most from having a specific sport or activity provided for them. We speak to these children to find what would interest them. This ensures that all of our children get to experience some kind of sporting activity. For some children, they become motivated to try other clubs from there.
New 'Quicksticks' hockey equipment.	Summer 2014	To provide the children with a new sport to experience within school.	As the children in our care reach Key Stage Two, they are introduced to the sport that is new to the majority of them. It encourages physical activity and engages children in sport. In some cases, it sparks a life-long passion.

Our aims for spending in 2018/19

Though plans can change, below is how we are hoping to spend our allocated PE budget in the 2018/19 academic year.

What we will spend money on	When we will spend	Why we have decided this.	Impact and Legacy (This section will be completed at the end of the year)
Improving health and wellbeing of pupils and staff through training all staff to take MiniYoga sessions with the children £3000	January 2019	As a school we recognise the importance of our pupils’ health and wellbeing physically and also mentally. This training will enhance our current offer to support the children’s mental health and wellbeing as a result	With the country dealing with a mental health epidemic, we wanted to enhance our current support of children’s mental health alongside fitness. Staff are all now trained to deliver mini yoga sessions. These sessions incorporate inclusive physical activity through yoga alongside prompting positive thinking, mindfulness and meditation. Sessions are currently being delivered in PE lessons or during the day within the classroom environment. These sessions have provided staff with the tools to have a calm environment where children are ready to learn, build concentration and relieve anxiety as well as all of the physical benefits.
To support enhance the physical opportunities in the Reception outdoor area £5000	March 2019	Reception outdoor area currently has limited opportunity for the children to develop their physical skills, particularly around gross motor skills. With the school developing the area as a whole, this funding will be specifically allocated to improve the offer around physical play	Through the significant enhancement of the reception outdoor area, it now has a vast amount of opportunities for children to develop their gross and fine motor skills. The activities that are now available will contribute to children reaching the end of year expectations including showing good control and co-ordination, moving confidently in a range of ways and handling equipment and tools effectively. This will now be a long lasting legacy for current and future children that has re shaped the Early Years curriculum and is being used on a daily basis.
Encourage children to lead more balanced and healthy lifestyles Engage parents and relatives in the local community to support and adopt a healthier lifestyle. £2000	Summer 2019	We plan to run a cooking club all year which encourages children to make healthy meal choices with fresh ingredients. Each half-term a different year group will be selected to take part to ensure a variety of ages and groups can be reached. Extra recipes and ingredients can be sent home to engage parents to adapt a healthier lifestyle. Food cooked at home could be celebrated in newsletters and on the website. We will create and sell a Langley Recipe book towards the end of the year to use the profits to go towards funding ingredients for the following year.	The opportunity of taking part in this cooking class resulted in children getting involved and interested in food and cooking. Children had the opportunity to taste and experience healthy food and discuss the importance of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Children were then able to take the healthy food they had made home to share with their family.
Encourage children to access a broader range of sports through a more diverse PE curriculum	Summer term 2019	We aim to run a whole school health week that gives children access to new sports and activities. This would consist of taster sessions of sports they may not have been exposed to previously. E.g. boccia, golf, judo, futsal & Zumba.	The school organised for the tallest professional basketball player in the world to come into school and deliver an inspiring assembly and run basketball sessions throughout the day for all pupils. This included inspiring them to take part in physical activity, anti-bullying, growth mind-set and identifying their talents. Feedback from the day was extremely positive from pupils and staff. A Bollywood dancing day was also organised where all classes took part in a taster sessions. This allowed children to take part in physical activity that they may not have previously been exposed to. This also celebrated dancing from a different country and allowed our curriculum to be more diverse.
To make children more culturally aware through sport £1000	Summer term 2019	Run whole school themed days to give children access to new sports and activities and celebrate other cultures. E.g. Bollywood dancing in year groups during a Diwali day. Have dance sessions based on chosen country on European Day of Languages. Daily mile track installed and to become a part of everyday routine. The increased exercise will have an impact on concentration levels and help our children keep fit and healthy.
Introduction of the daily mile £300	January 2019	To continue to encourage the children to be active every playtime, a course around the playyard will be created using visual signs / prompts and then encouraged to follow at playtime	Due to space limitations around the yard, it was not feasible for the children to take part in the Daily Mile. However, we created a fitness circuit that the children complete at the beginning of every playtime. Each activity has a sign that is located around the yard and the children go round anti-clockwise until all ten activities have been completed.
Inter school competitions £800		Support from coaches will be brought in to facilitate competitions within school house teams to develop further sense of competition and working as a team	Coaches came into school to deliver an interschool competition across both key stages. The competition was very inclusive and got all children active. The sports that were delivered would not normally be delivered during curriculum time and therefore give children the opportunity to take part in sports they may not previously.
New uniform to be purchased for competitions and festivals £837	Autumn 2018	To celebrate the importance of P.E and the positive impact it is having on the children at school - To promote team ethos and moral. To achieve this school council will be engaged to help design kit and source supplier to ensure that the children are integral part of the process.	New PE tops and jumpers have been purchased for children to wear during festivals or competitions. The children feel proud to wear these and brings great morale and team work.
