Effect of Funding on PE Participation
Statement of Impact
Physical education contributes directly to development of physical competence and fitness at Blakehill Primary School. It also helps pupils to make informed choices and understand the value of leading a physically active lifestyle. The high quality physical education we offer has a positive impact on both academic learning and physical activity patterns of our pupils. We believe that a healthy, physically active pupil is more likely to be academically motivated, alert and successful in life skills. Through the government Primary Sports premium, we are able to provide the following for our children:
Wider sporting opportunities for all children, including, tri-golf, ultimate Frisbee, cross country, tag rugby and multi-skills activities
Specialised curriculum teaching in every year group.
Additional after school sports for a variety of year groups.
Every year group had the chance to participate in a sporting festival against other schools and received additional specialist teaching in preparation for the festivals.
Additional equipment purchased enables more focused skill development. A whole class set of equipment ensures maximum participation.
Through membership to the East 1 Partnership (15 primaries and 2 upper schools) and Hanson schools sports, the children have access to much broader opportunity for competition.
Impact of Funding 2017-18
As a result of increased knowledge, skills and understanding in PE at Blakehill:
- The uptake in extra-curricular sporting activities has continued to increase and all clubs are still running at full capacity and in many cases are still over-subscribed.
