School PE/ Sports Funding Spring 2017
The government highlights the purpose of the funding is to ensure that schools make additional
and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and Sport they offer. So as a school we are
developing and adding to the PE and sports activities we already offer and are making
improvements now that will benefit the pupils joining our school in the future.

Curriculum sessions (for some of our more inactive
pupils and our A, G & T pupils)

effectively.


Support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs
/ curriculum sessions
A variety of sports clubs are on offer for all age groups to increase our levels of
participation. Premier Sports have run an additional curriculum time session for some
less active children and other sessions to challenge our Able, Gifted & Talented children
in this area too. Children are also encouraged to join in with AFC Fylde who are in school
running sessions every lunchtime.

Run sports competitions / Tournaments
Through our Service Level agreement with Carr Hill High School we have joined in with a
range of inter-school competitions. These have included badminton, two dodgeball
competitions and our annual swimming gala.

Increase pupils’ participation
Coaching within school is used to inspire our pupils to actively want to participate in more
school based clubs. These are promoted through assemblies, on the website, in the
newsletter, separate letters and class teachers discussing options available with their
class.

At Strike Lane Primary School we believe in a holistic approach to the development of sport &
physical activity for all pupils and encourage collaboration and partnership working to make the
best use of resources and enhance PE and sport provision in order to raise participation and
achievement.
Impact on PE/Sporting provision at Strike Lane Primary School
With the continued support from the sports premium funding our school is continuing to access
additional specialist coaches, services and resources which has allowed us to reach a wider
number of children and give them a wider opportunity of experiences. There is an increased
quality of our curriculum including breadth & balance time available, staff professional
development and access to facilities and resources. The quality of extra-curricular and
lunchtime provisions has increased, including the range of activities offered, the enhancement
and extension of the curriculum provision, the promotion of active healthy lifestyles and the
range of times during the day when the activities are offered. The children are rising to the
challenge of completing the new sports award so are sharing their achievements out of school as
well. Pupil voice evidences children in Key Stage One & Key Stage Two state that they enjoy PE
lessons and clubs.
