PE and Sport Premium Summary 2016-17
Since the initial allocation of the Sport Premium funding (since 2013), Westgate Hill Primary School
has received a total of £35,517. In the last academic year (2015-16), our allocation was £9,942 and
we are due to receive £10,340 for the forthcoming academic year (2016-17). This is designed to help
primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils. The
Government has spent over £450 million on this funding over the 3 academic years from 2013 to
2016.
During this academic year Westgate Hill Primary School will receive £10,340 from the PE and Sport
Premium Grant. So far this year we have spent this money and are planning to continue spending
on:
 Professional Development of Staff for the delivery of Physical Education;
 Buying in of high-quality coaching for after-school activities;
 Purchase of new PE resources.
Professional Development of Staff for the delivery of Physical Education
This PE Funding is providing Westgate Hill Primary School with the opportunity for teaching staff and
teaching assistants, who are involved in the delivery of PE, to access in-class CPD by J. J. Coaching on
Dance and Gymnastics. A specialist teacher, each week delivers lessons alongside class teachers,
focusing upon areas in the teachers PE development, areas such as dance and gymnastics. This PE
specialist works with the class teacher to guide the assessment of the children’s performance and
discuss future lessons and skills progression. During the course of the academic year each and every
class and teacher will have worked with this specialist.
School staff have already attended day courses on Outdoor Activities, Dance and Games. As well as
this the PE coordinator has also attended twilight network meetings and a number of different staff
have taken part in specific sport coaching for rugby tag, hockey and dance. The PE curriculum was
enhanced with workshops delivered to KS1 by the balletLORENT. They are a leading UK
contemporary dance company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. As an Arts Award Centre and Arts
Award Supporter organisation, they are able to offer all levels of Arts Award to individuals,
community groups and schools, from the entry level Discover to Gold.
Buying in of high-quality coaching for after-school activities
J. J. Coaching is also supporting our provision of after-school clubs (e.g. Autumn term is Fun & Games
(KS1) and Football (KS2)) and lunchtime clubs. We are also part of the Judo School Initiative which
will provide our pupils with a 6 week Judo programme after school. The initiative will give children
across KS2 the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Judo. Westgate Hill Primary School will also
be working in partnership with Newcastle United Football Club to offer after school clubs for both
pupils and their families. This will give the school an excellent opportunity to build on and create
strong links with the local community.
Children have also already benefitted from a wide range of sports clubs, such as multi-skills, football,
hockey and basketball, some of which have been fully funded and some partially funded by the
grant, and this will continue throughout the academic year. Every club this term has been 100% full
and in turn we are currently researching additional sport clubs, to continue building on the already
improved provision of sport.
The feedback from every sports club has been overwhelmingly positive, with children requesting the
clubs go on longer and that they would highly recommend them to their friends. We have and will
continue to invest in high quality equipment, ensuring that there are more opportunities for children
to demonstrate and celebrate their wide range of skills.
This does not include the children who have represented the school in team competitions. As part of
the development of PE at Westgate Hill Primary school, we will be providing all children with the
opportunity to represent their school as part of a team.
Purchase of new PE resources
In 2014, Westgate Hill Primary School provided a PE Kit for every child. This consisted of a sports
bag, white t-shirt and black joggers. This was to empower children in PE, overcoming barriers of
children feeling left out and impact on the number of pupils who participate in PE. We invested in
badges for children who attended after school sport clubs. All staff at Westgate Hill Primary school
have been provided with a staff PE kit. This is to empower staff and in turn, increase the
participation of children in sport. We will continue to provide a PE Kit for all new children and staff
to Westgate Hill Primary School.
We have also invested in playground equipment for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. In order to raise
the profile of sport and staying active, we are providing all children with a range of fun activities to
use during break and lunch times. We are currently developing and improving the physical
environment, allowing us to provide a range of sporting activities on the field, MUGA and yards.
We have utilised this funding to:
 Hire specialist qualified sports coaches to work with teachers when teaching PE
 Supporting and engaging children in lessons that signpost club membership
 Funding professional development opportunities for staff
 Providing cover to staff for professional development in PE
 Running competitions and increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games
 Buying materials for PE and sport and outdoor activities
Impact of the Sports Premium Grant
Throughout the 3 years of receiving the PE and sports premium, we have been collating and analysing the
impact of CPD. Impact on staff is measured through a CPD questionnaire, filled in before and after the
CPD. The NUFC CPD impacted on the staff’s knowledge and confidence about teaching ball skills, with
staff’s confidence levels increasing by at least 1 step. JJ Coaching CPD has currently impacted on the staff’s
knowledge and confidence about teaching gymnastics and dance, with all staff’s confidence levels
increasing by 1-3 steps.
After teachers have team taught with the coaches at JJ Coaching, they are observed teaching a PE lesson
using the Create Development scheme of work. This feedback is then shared with the Sport Leader and
the teachers. The feedback has been very positive, with improvements identified.
JJ Coaching carry out an assessment of the pupil’s ability in each area of the Create Development scheme
of work at the beginning and at the end of the CPD. This is then analysed by the Sports Leader to identify
progress within each class.
The impact of this spending can be seen:
 In the numbers of children engaging in PE and Sport extra-curricular activities
 In the numbers of children engaging in PE and Sport out of school
 The quality and range of expertise staff at Westgate Hill Primary have
 The quality and range of extra-curricular activities available at Westgate Hill Primary
 The quality and range of competitive opportunities available to children, including inter and
intra school competitions
 The quality and range of resources including opportunities for outdoor self-initiated play to
improve fitness and stamina during less structures times of the day for example lunchtime
 The quality of leadership of PE at Westgate Hill Primary and the impact the PE team have in
maintaining the profile and status of the subject
