Sports Premium
If you would like more information on Pupil Premium and or Sports Grant then you can go to the Department for Education website.
At Woden Primary School, we believe PE and Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement (Learning to Make a Difference) a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. We welcome the Government’s continued support in maintaining high quality PE and Sport provision during the academic year 2023-24. This is so that schools can continue to prioritise children’s physical wellbeing alongside education recovery, becoming healthier both mentally and physically, improving behaviour and enhancing academic achievement.
How we are using it at Woden Primary School
Our commitment to providing children with high quality competition access and pupils involved in leadership activities was recognised with the School Games National Gold Award after external validation at the end of summer 2020. This has been sustained three years later by being awarded Gold again in July 2023, for continuing to give passionate and talented children the opportunity to participate in competitive sport, but also for the physical activity, mental and physical wellbeing activities and opportunities we have provided each of the children across the school. The Gold Award is given out by National School Games and is for a school’s contribution and commitment in providing physical activity opportunities for all and we will be submitting an application to work towards the Platinum award in September 24. We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, whether this be extensive sports clubs, lunchtime activities, competing during sports day or during a football or multi-skills competitions. Sporting achievement is further celebrated with the introduction of our annual ‘Mr Patel Sport’s Award’, that acknowledges the outstanding sporting achievements of children across the school in memory of one of our staff who was dedicated to sharing his passion for sports during his time at Woden.
Additionally, Woden Primary is committed to delivering high quality and consistently effective PE provision to all our children which enables our children to improve their health, fitness, welfare and wellbeing, their understanding of sport, teamwork and citizenship. We promote an inclusive ethos where all pupils enjoy participating in sport; empowering them to become the best they can be. One of the many ways we have used the sports funding at Woden has been to update our resources for physical education lessons and developing the playground markings to promote fitness activities outside of the classroom. This year, we are delighted to have had two EnergyWalls installed which have provided additional opportunities for the children to be engaged in physical activity. Ensuring that the equipment is accessible for all children in the school means that they are able to develop their skills in each area of the curriculum. Woden continues to be part of the ConnectEd Sports Partnership which provides advice and quality training for teachers and opportunities for pupils to participate in inter-school sports competitions. We will continue to broaden the level of activity within the school through sport clubs which will have a long-lasting impact on the health and fitness and wellbeing of every child in the school. We have prioritised funding for additional swimming sessions this year and last as we feel this is an essential potentially life-saving skill, as well as increasing levels of fitness. We will continue to ensure our children have access to different sporting opportunities including competitions and festivals. To promote the importance of a healthy active lifestyle children we will continue take part in inter school sport events including tournaments, sports days, sports relief days and sports challenges.
At Woden, we have developed a plan to ensure this funding is invested to maximise the long-term impact of our PE provision for pupils and staff. The impact of these initiatives is monitored through assessment of children’s skills, staff and pupil feedback, uptake of clubs etc.
At Woden Primary School, we believe PE and Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement (Learning to Make a Difference) a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. We have welcomed the Government’s announcement in June 2021, confirming that schools in England will benefit from a further £320 million from the PE and Sport Premium during the academic year 2022-23. This is so that schools can continue to prioritise children’s physical wellbeing alongside education recovery, becoming healthier both mentally and physically, improving behaviour and enhancing academic achievement.
