PE Premium Funding Statement

2016 - 17

The government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools – this allocated based on the number of children in Year 1 – 6.

Schools with over 17 eligible pupils will receive £8,000 plus an additional £5 per pupil. In our school this will amount to £9,943. The school will receive this funding in 2 parts: £4,142 for April 2016 – August 2016 and a second amount of £5,801 for the September 2016 – March 2017. The PE Premium funding is being used to improve PE and Sport Provision across the school.Since the introduction of the PE premium in 2014 this has meant a huge success in raising attainment in PE and we will continue to build on ourprovision again this year.

At Primrose Hill we already prioritise PE and sport in our budget to enhance children’s participation, involvement and attainment in PE; however, this additional sum contributes a significant amount for our school which so far has enabled some fantastic new initiatives. These have included:

  • Our specialist HLTA provides sports clubs to all year groups outside of curriculum time, across a wide range of sports including basketball, cricket, cross-country, football, golf, athletics, netball, hockey, rounders, table tennis, tag rugby and tennis.
  • Children are identified to take part in competitive team competitions across Camden and London e.g. Camden Football, London Youth Games.
  • Children with an identified SEN participate in inclusion competitions across Camden – these include inclusion cricket, athletics and basketball.
  • Children in Year 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 have timetabled swimming lessons for part of the academic year. This also includes a coach for the journey.
  • Children in Year 6 have the opportunity to participate as Sports Captains where they model and lead KS1 sporting activities during their lunchtime.
  • Continuing to utilising external specialists to provide activities beyond the standard PE curriculum. These include Karate, Street Dance and Gymnastics teachers from local clubs.
  • Providing on-going training for specialist HLTA from local borough lead to provide bespoke training to develop teaching and learning in PE.
  • Specialist HLTA provides lunchtime sessions for identified Year 6 children to build social skills through sport.
  • We employ 2 part-time PE Teaching Assistant (morning/ afternoon session). The TAs’ role involves supporting in all PE lessons, as well as playing a significant role in our extra-curricular sporting programmes.
  • We fund our annual subscription to the CSSA (Camden School Sports Association)
  • We continue to invest in resources across a wide range of existing sports.
  • We continue to invest in new equipment and resources in order to introduce new sports to our children, including badminton, table tennis and handball.

This forms part of the School’s Leadership & Management judgment.

This initiative is being led bythe following personnel:

  • Laura Smith (Assistant Head)
  • Mitchell Collymore (Physical Education Higher Level Teaching Assistant)
