The James Oglethorpe Primary School
Primary School Sports Funding Policy and Report 2016/17
The government are spending over £450 million on improving physical
education (PE) and sport in primary schools.
Funding is allocated directly to primary school Headteachers and
schools can choose how they use the funding, for example to:
 hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with
primary teachers during PE lessons
 support and involve the least active children by running afterschool sports clubs and holiday clubs, e.g. the Change4Life clubs
 provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for
teachers
 run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the
School Games
 run sports activities with other schools
Principles behind using the Primary School Sports Funding at
The James Oglethorpe Primary School
1. We recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of
the children.
2. We believe that a varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular
opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and
academic achievement of all our children.
3. We aim to meet the principle needs of all pupils through quality first
teaching of PE during the routine teaching timetable.
4. We will then ensure that appropriate additional provision is made for
pupils who wish to take part in enrichment or extra- curricular
sporting/PE activities.
5. In making provision for spending the Primary School Sports Funding
we aim for sustainable impact rather than short term wins.

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

Impact
From a viewpoint of sustainability/legacy, this
programme particularly increases staff skills and
confidence around PE and dance with reduced planning
and preparation time as everything is already in place.
At the recent staff inset our PE Lead ran, staff were very
pleased to have a range of quality music and
particularly like that the music is extended for practising

so that there is sustained practising for routines.
This programme gives opportunities to get children
active across the curriculum as many of the dance
topics are topic based and therefore we will be able to
make strong links.
Pupil progress is assessed and outcomes measured so
that we can clearly see an pupil progress in this area.

Quick sticks hockey is something the school has a lot
of equipment for – we have class sets of hockey
sticks, but very few resources for the teaching of
hockey.
This was a way to upskill staff (juniors) and give them
greater confidence to teach hockey.
We do enter Quicksticks hockey competitions, so this
will enable us to have a more competitive edge.

games, activities plus the software used to edit
the control locations. £600
 Permanent plaques. 25 red and white plaques. I
will plan where these will go and once decided,
can create your CD. £225
Impact
An orienteering course is a permanent course, which
means that there is a legacy from this spend that we
can use to introduce orienteering to all current and
future pupils.
It allows us to compete in local competitions,
organised through the Havering Sports Collective and
enables us to host primary competitions.
Orienteering as a sport is a great cross-curricular
vehicle, allowing us to put maths and geography skills
such as mapping skills and co-ordinates into action.
As a team sport, it means that children are motivated
to work together, building up their team skills, their
leadership skills, their resilience and problem solving
skills which we believe are the keys to becoming a
successful learner and which develop into successful
adulthood.
