a Pathway to Success
Our allocation for 2018 - 2019 was £18,130
£15,437.31 was spent on employing our own Sports Coach. His core contract has been for 21 1/4 hours which has been used to:
* Deliver (alongside class teachers) one hour per week of high quality P.E. to our Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 groups.
* Deliver (alongside class teachers) two hours per week of high quality P.E. to our Year 3, Year 4, Year and Year 6 classes.
* Provide structured sporting opportunities at lunchtimes including: table tennis, football, hockey, basketball and the daily mile for Years 1, 2 and 6.

* Enable us to enter two teams in many of the local sporting competitions.
* Deliver Cycle Training to our Year 6 children
Impact:
* Class teachers have accessed a year of high quality CPD in PE teaching focusing on developing their skills in teaching specific sports and fundamental fitness skills.
* Activity levels at lunchtimes have increased with a larger group of children engaging in sporting activities. This has also been provided during indoor breaks using activities such as table tennis.
* Activity levels in PE lessons (where we have large class sizes of 36) have increased. With two adults teaching each class, we have been able to split classes into smaller groups or focus on more effectively supporting those children who have struggled.
* The number of children attending extra-curricular sporting activities, particularly in Years 3 and 4, has significantly increased.
* The percentage of children and the number of times they have been able to represent our school in local and regional sporting competitions has increased.
* All of our Year 6 pupils accessed level 1 and level 2 cycle training.
Sustainability:
During 2019 - 2020, we will continue the model above. The CPD element for staff is particularly important in what could be the final year of Sports Funding.
£900 was spent on providing additional swimming coaching for those children in Years 4, 5 and 6 who had not previously met the end of KS2 swimming expectations. The funding enabled 5 hours of intensive tuition for a small group of 9 pupils. 6 of these pupils attained the end of KS2 expectation of swimming competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
Impact:
* 100% of Y6 pupils can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
* 100% of Y6 pupils can perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations
* 94% of Y6 pupils can use a range of strokes effectively
Sustainability:
We will continue to use Sports Funding to fund this additional swimming instruction as long as the funding is available.

£407 was spent on our Annual Healthy Week which is held at the end of the Summer term. The aim of our week is to provide a wide range of sporting and health-related activities across the school. This year the funding enabled:
