St Edward’s Academy PE and Sport Premium Strategy Date: April 2018 Purpose of the premium The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles. At St Edward’s we do this by developing and adding PE and sporting activities and we also aim to build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements will benefit pupils now and future pupils. Overview of St Edward’s Academy’s strategies for improving pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment and giving pupils the opportunity to develop a healthy, active lifestyle

We spend our PE and sport funding in the following ways to improve PE and sport participation and to enable pupils to develop a healthy, active lifestyle:

• A dedicated Higher Level Teaching Assistant trained as a sports coach to work with the Deputy and lead PE across the school

• Membership and promotion of The Walk on Wednesday scheme

• Membership of Sittingbourne and Sheppey Sports Trust and corresponding sporting fixtures and team entries fees

• Up to date CPD for teachers and HLTA on teaching sport

• Funding for transportation to sporting venues e.g. KCSP Sports Day.

• Commissioning the work of external coaches who teach classes during the year; modelling how to teach their sports thus providing CPD opportunities to teachers and the HLTA

• Offer free sporting clubs to children

• Give access to a wide range of sporting opportunities including Bollywood dance workshop for children and parents and ‘hip hop’ dance

• Heavily subsidized swimming lessons for Year 3, 4 and 5 and free ‘booster’ lessons for non-swimming Year 6 pupils.

• Fund Bike-ability Level 1 and 2 courses for Year 4-6 and Balance-ability courses for Year 1-2.

• The Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that children undertake at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day so we have purchased large fitness equipment installed outside to aid fitness and strength either at playtime or in directed PE lesson time

• Climbing frame and slide and the maintenance of trikes in EYFS

Our rationale for spending the money in this way is:

• By teaching swimming from Year 3 for 2 terms yearly we aim for all children

to be able to swim by the time they reach Year 6.

• For pupils new to Key Stage 2 who have not had access to 3 years of swimming, we will provide intensive ‘booster’ lessons to Year 6 in the summer term.

• In line with our Cultural Literacy based curriculum inspired by the work of E.D. Hirsch, introduce all pupils to a variety of sports that they may not be familiar with e.g. fencing, gymnastics, golf and hockey

• For pupil’s travelling to school by bicycle we want to ensure they are trained and safe on the road

• To improve Physical Development outcomes in the EYFS

• To encourage families and children to walk to school

• PE lessons to be judged as GOOD and pupils to make GOOD progress in PE skills and knowledge

How the improvements made will be sustainable in the future:

• As Sheppey is an Island and there are several canals close to the school, children can swim

• By accessing a range of different sports, be able to enter teams to compete against other schools, which may be more affluent and more familiar with these sports.

• Maintain the school’s GOLD Mark for Sport

• Pupils are safe cycling on roads from primary school and beyond.

• Walking to school becomes the norm, not just on Wednesdays

• More pupils want to take up sport after school and post primary school PE and Sports Funding – the total funding received by St Edward’s Academy
