The Government allocate funding to most schools for improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. You can get the up to date information from the DFE website – sports funding page.
At Colebourne, the allocated funding for 2022-2023 equated to approximately £19,000
We have used some of this money to
- hire specialist sports coaches to work with primary teachers during PE lessons and to deliver PE lessons
- hire sports coaches to provide coaching during lunchtimes
- support and involve the least active children by running fitness clubs and activities
- provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers
- take part in sport competitions and increase pupils’ participation
We have also supplemented this money with school budget share to:
- purchase increased equipment for physical activity at lunch and breaktimes
- Additional release time for Sports leaders to develop clubs and curriculum
- Consultancy work to develop new PE and sports approach
Since 2021 we have focused on:
- Ensuring the main school PE curriculum is of a high standard and ensure increased fitness and sports skills development
- Increasing physical activity across the school week to respond to Covid fitness and health, and to improve overall well being
- Using on-site swimming to enable more efficient use of time and allow more children to access swimming
- Increase the number of sport related afterschool clubs
- Target the fitness of the most needy
