Sports Premium
At Sevenoaks Primary School, we appreciate the contribution of PE to the health and
well-being of our children. We also acknowledge that a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum and extra-curricular activities have a positive impact on concentration, attitude, achievement and most importantly, enjoyment.
We are committed to ensuring that the majority of our children receive two structured PE lessons each week covering two units per term. These lessons are taken from the Get Set4 PE scheme which enables the children's PE skills to be progressive and cover a wide range of skills, understanding and sports. CPD is provided for teachers and teaching assistants to keep them informed about new initiatives.
In addition to the quality PE provided by our staff, the sports provision is enhanced by our engagement with a number of sporting clubs and organisations. These clubs/organisations provide an array of opportunities during curriculum time.
We run an extensive sports programme over the year, which is supported by our involvement with the Sevenoaks Partnership (28 local primary schools). The programme incorporates an array of different sporting opportunities and we aim to include all of the children.
The Partnership employs a Sports Development Officer who is instrumental in facilitating an extensive range of continuous professional development for the teaching staff. They also take a lead role in organising sporting events for the children including competitive leagues and other one off events e.g. Districts Sports, Cross Country races, Cricket Festival, Hockey competition, Chance to Dance, Rugby festival.
At Sevenoaks Primary School, Teachers, TAs and other volunteers, provide a wide range of sports clubs, both for team and individual sports. The clubs take place before school, during the lunch break and at the end of the day. The majority of our children enjoy at least two or more extra-curricular activities.
Sevenoaks Primary School has an impressive record in local sports competitions and events in the Sevenoaks area and has regularly reached county and national finals. This could not have been achieved without the support and commitment of parents, which is very much appreciated.
What is the Sports Premium?
Sports Premium Funding is a government investment in PE and School Sport. The government has invested money to be spent by schools in order to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of teaching and learning of PE and Sport and to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
The Sports Premium funding has been jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and is ring-fenced for primary schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. This year Sevenoaks Primary has received £16,000 plus an extra £10 per pupil.
The information below explains how we have spent the PE and Sports Premium Grant to achieve our vision for PE and how the outcomes of the below reports have influenced our plans for the coming year.
