Spon Gate Primary School
Primary Schools Sports Premium Report April 2015 – April 2016
Background
The Government has provided funding of £150 million per annum to enhance PE and Sport in Primary Schools. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children and to develop healthy lifestyles. The purpose of the funding is that schools will have to spend the sport funding in improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Allocation
Funding for schools has been calculated by the number of primary aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11). Based on a full year all schools with 17 or more primary aged pupils will receive a lump sum of £8,000 plus a premium of £5 per pupil. Spon Gate received £8865 from April 2015 – April 2016.
Accountability
Schools will be held to account for how they spend the sport funding. Schools must publish, on their website, information about their use of the PE and Sport Grant. Schools should publish the amount of grant received; how it has been spent (or will be spent) and what impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment as a result, to help to ensure that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles.

Upskilling
Spon Gate have used the majority of the Primary Schools Sport Premium grant to employ a HLTA (Ross Kelly) in PE. This year the HLTA has continued to work alongside other teachers to improve and embed their skills and knowledge in order to enhance the provision of PE.
Following the success of joint planning and delivery in Spring term 2015, Ross has continued to work with colleagues providing support with planning. Within some year groups, Ross has continued to run sessions alongside the class teacher. Throughout this academic year, Ross has continued to offer support, advice and subject knowledge to teachers who have requested it. The success of this upskilling is evident in the most recent PE skills and knowledge audit, taken in September 2015.

As well as being utilised to help upskill other members of staff, Ross has continued to provide a range of after clubs activities as well as holiday clubs.
