Primary PE Funding The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Purpose for Funding Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. Possible uses for the funding might include: • hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers when teaching PE • supporting and engaging the least active children through new or additional Change4Life clubs • paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport • providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE and sport • running sport competitions, or increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games • buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE and sport • providing places for pupils on after school sports clubs and holiday clubs • pooling the additional funding with that of other local schools.
Acountability • From September 2013, schools will be held to account over how they spend their additional, ring-fenced funding. • Ofsted will strengthen the coverage of PE and sport within the 'Inspectors’ handbook' and supporting guidance so that both schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision. • One year on, Ofsted will carry out a survey reporting on the first year’s expenditure of additional funding and its impact. • Schools will also be required to include details of their provision of PE and sport on their website, alongside details of their broader curriculum, so that parents can compare sports provision between schools, both within and beyond the school day.
Physical Education – Programmes of Study Purpose of Study A high quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect. Aims The National Curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils: • Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities • Are physically active for sustained periods of time • Engage in competitive sports and activities • Lead healthy, active lives Attainment targets By the end of each key stage, pupils are expected to know, apply and understand the matters, skills and processes specified in the relevant programme of study.
Subject Content – Key Stage 1 Pupils should develop core movement, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and co-ordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations. Pupils should be taught to: • Master basic movements such as running, jumping, throwing, catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities • Participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending • Perform dances using simple movement patterns.
Subject Content – Key Stage 2 Pupils should continue to implement and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to succeed in different activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success. Pupils should be taught to: • Use running, jumping, catching and throwing in isolation and in combination • Play competitive games, modified where appropriate, such as football, netball, rounders, cricket, hockey, basketball, badminton and tennis, and apply basic principles for attacking and defending • Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance, for example through gymnastics and athletics • Perform dances using a range of movement patterns • Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team • Compare their performances with previous ones to achieve their personal best
Swimming and water safety All schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2. In particular, pupils should be taught to: • Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres • Use a range of strokes effectively such as front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
What do we need to do? Nothing.... If what is set out in our yearly timetable is being delivered, and delivered well, then nothing has changed. The money allows us to ensure the right resources are in place and readily available to deliver all areas of PE to a high standard. It will ensure we can provide appropriate CPD to all staff to encourage whole school involvement in Take 10, playtime activity, FunFit, Leap into Life and specific areas of the PE curriculum like Dance, Gymnastics and OAA. Assessments of teaching and learning can be carried out regularly to ensure teachers have the correct support and guidance to become outstanding teachers of Physical Education. But above all the money will ensure we can provide rich opportunities for our children to take part in daily physical activity in and out of school and live health active lifestyles.
What I would like to do (Action Plan) • We must be able to demonstrate the impact this money has on our pupils. • A 3 stranded approach will ensure we meet each departments desired outcomes (education, health, culture media & sport). • Spending must be sustainable for the future, passed 2015 when funding will end. • Maintain our relationship with Park/Pilton as they will be our support post 2015. • Ensure SSCo’s are supported to carry out their work in arranging and marshalling inter-school competitions. • Ensure colleagues are afforded the appropriate training and CPD opportunities to secure confidence and subject knowledge in delivering the new curriculum.. • Continue to use the PEDPASS provision which is available which more than satisfies the requirements potentially being laid out by the new curriculum.
So… PE • Lesson observations once a term for all teachers will ensure professional dialogue between teachers and co-ordinator. • CPD opportunities for staff less confident in certain areas. • New resources to allow PE activities to be appealing and exciting. • Ensure each class has the equipment to record and review their learning. • Spare kit will ensure all children can participate. • Details of the curriculum and PE timetable available on website.
So… DPA • Refreshing DPA timetable with KS2 teachers, sharing activity ideas and making resources readily available. • Leap Into Life to be reviewed with FSU and KS1 teachers. • Daily Wake Up Shake Up to be re-launched with greater rewards and incentives. • FunFit training to be carried out with at least a further 2 members of staff, with a review of how we can take it forward after a very successful first year. • Details of activities and opportunities available for children.
So… SS • Funding available for transport to inter-school competitions to ensure participation. • Club details in newsletter and on website to ensure parents/carers are aware of what is available, including links to local sports clubs etc. • Spare kit for clubs to encourage participation. • New resources to ensure clubs are exciting to join.
