Oliver's Battery Primary and Nursery School

Creative, Caring, Confident Learners for Life

"Pupils like attending this school because everyone is so caring" - Ofsted, October 2019

Sports Funding

At Oliver’s Battery Primary School we understand the value of Sport and PE and believe that all children should be given the opportunity to take part in regular sport, including competitions both in school and against other schools.

Our vision for P.E. is drawn from the Hampshire Strategy for the delivery of high quality physical education and school sport 2013-2016, a vision that aims for all children to experience world class excellent physical education, school sport and physical activity that will lead to lifelong participation.

At Oliver’s Battery Primary we believe that P.E. and sport build self-esteem, teamwork and leadership skills. We believe that P.E. and sport are also important because they can help build an inclusive society, raise levels of participation in sport after young people leave school and positively affect the health of the nation.

By raising the quality of the teaching of P.E. and sport in the school, we are ensuring children make good progress in the subject and that children are challenged and engaged in the P.E. curriculum. We also offer a range of extracurricular activities for all the children and these are run by teachers and by qualified instructors. These clubs are run after school, before school and during lunchtimes. At Oliver’s Battery we give children the opportunity to compete in intra-school competitions and other cluster school matches that may lead us towards the Sainsbury's School Games. These games are an opportunity to motivate and inspire children to take part in competitive sport. In July 2014 we achieved the Bronze Sainsbury’s School Sports Kite Mark Award.

Sports Premium

The Government announced that from September 2013 schools will receive an additional £8,000 [plus £5 per pupil between the ages of 5-11 years old] to improve the quality of sport and PE for all their children.  We have looked carefully into the best ways to use this to benefit our pupils and the impact of these provisions will be monitored by the PE leader and SLT to ensure it is having the best possible impact.

Background Information (from DfE website)

The government is providing additional funding of £450 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2014, 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016 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.

Eligible Schools

Funding for schools will be calculated by reference to the number of primary-aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11), as recorded in the annual schools census in January 2014.

Purpose of 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

Accountability

Since September 2013, Ofsted inspections report on PE and sport provision and on how schools spend their additional funding. The DfE also hold schools accountable by requiring them to publish since April 2014, on their websites, details of how they spend (or will spend) their PE and sport grant. They must also include detail about the impact this funding has on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment.

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.

Meeting national curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres? N.B. Even though your children may swim in another year please report on their attainment on leaving primary school. 82%
What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]? 82%
What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations? 76%
Schools can choose to use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements. Have you used it in this way? no

Sports Premium 2015-16

This year we are using the PE funds to employ Mr Birch from Kings School to come and teach Games to the children in year 5 and 6. He will work with the class teachers, showing them new ideas, and skill practices so that they become more confident in teaching Games to this age group in the future.

We are also investing an amount of the Funds on new playground and pitch markings. We have had the playground surfaces assessed and they are in a good state of repair, therefore a re-paint is all that is required. We are also having some vibrant new, educational illustrations to both playgrounds added and the outside area of Year 1 / 2 class will be getting a number line track painted.

We have purchased some new Netballs for use in lessons and the after school club and a Springboard for the children to use in Gymnastics.

The funds are contributing to the re-development of the outside area between the library and playground. Which will finish off the bottom playground making it an amazing place to learn.

As all the teachers in the school now teach PE, the department has decided to fund hooded jackets for the staff to wear when teaching the subject. This will enable them to dress smartly but appropriately for PE, so that they can demonstrate freely and join in with activities! Also when we take the children to represent the school, other schools will be able to identify us easily.

Expected income for 2015-2016 £5,244 plus carry forward from 2014-2015 £3,019 – Total spend for PE in 2015-2016 £11,744.

Sports Premium 2014-15

We have decided to use some of the money to invest in the wealth of experience that Kings School PE teachers can offer. Every Monday for the whole year a member of the PE staff will come into Oliver’s Battery School and team teach with the class teachers , to provide outstanding PE lessons. Children throughout the whole school will benefit from this during the year. The focus of these lessons will be on the fundamentals of sport; co-ordination, agility, stamina , balance and strength.

We also felt that some investment was needed to buy resources for non-traditional games, so as a result of a successful term of netball/basketball last year, we have now bought 2 free-standing Basketball posts, which will be on the lower playground for all children to enjoy at playtime and during PE lessons. We have managed to source some new basketballs from Sainsbury’s Active Kids vouchers, which will arrive soon.

Some of the funds must also be allocated to training, and I will be going on an Intermediate Gymnastics Course next term.

We will always try to use the funds for the benefit of all children in the school to continue to promote active participation for all.
