How are we spending (or will spend) our PE and sport grant at Hoole St Michael CE Primary School?

The government has funded every school as part of the Olympic legacy to enable high quality Sport and Physical Exercise/Well-Being activities to be provided.

Impact of 2019-20 sports funding

• Continued opportunities to take part in competitive sport including football and netball friendly matches, athletics; competitive events through South Ribble Sports Partnership.
• All KS2 pupils receive between 1 hour and 1.5 hours of additional sport per week (at lunchtime – organised games)
• Extra-curricular activities offered to children from all classes from Year 1-Year 6.
• Pupils introduced to a wider variety of sports and expertise (qualified coaches)
• Evidence of pupils continuing with out-of-school sports clubs as a result of the coaching and experiences offered within school (i.e. pupils playing as part of a netball club);
• Improved attitude towards sporting activities, especially from children who have previously been less active.
• Development of new skills.
• Confidence in the participation in Outdoor and Adventurous Education.

From September 2019

Our swimming provision at Tarleton (3 half terms – 45 minutes per session + booster sessions for any pupils who do not achieve the expected standard); with 2 qualified coaches per swimming session and provides much better value for money.

• We are far more involved with West Lancs sports partnership (due to the nature of our cluster) – TARDIS Active schools alliance (TASA).
  • To organise locally hosted events, focused on local priorities
  • Increase participation in physical activity – targeting reluctant participants, as well as those who don’t make the ‘A’team
  • Working with families to encourage more active lifestyles
  • Cross-community collaboration
  • Developing better links with local clubs and societies
• Level 3 games qualifiers and coaching support will still be provided through South Ribble in addition to inclusion events
• We are involved with (for a cost of £350) additional TASA events i.e. netball and football leagues, swimming gala (through Tarleton), kwik cricket, tag rugby, athletics, cross country. Also, additional events each half term – e.g. orienteering, treasure hunt, which would be non-threatening active events solely targeted at those who are reluctant participants or have not had the opportunity to participate in any other competitive inter-school event
• Sports funding will also still be used for TA time (half- hour sporting activity every lunchtime; TAs attending sporting events; transport costs).
• Resources need updating and organisation of resources needs improvement.
