All children from Year1-4 have had the opportunity to take part in Level 2 competitions. LLSP have separated small schools into a separate group for many of the competitions, this has allowed the children to be far more competitive within their group. Four Year 4 children have been trained as Bronze Sports ambassadors and eight as Change4Life Champions. These children are also offering sports and games during break time. All of the children in Year 4 have completed Sports Leader Training with LLSSP.Staff have taken part in 2 CPD sessions covering Health & Safety and cross-curricular PE. The children will all be taking part in curriculum days linked to topics, at the end of term.
All children in the school have had the opportunity to take part in sports coaching at lunchtime and after school, competency in sports has increased across the school. The whole school takes part in ‘Wake and Shake’ sessions four mornings a week. Each session is approximately 15mins of high energy physical activity/dancing. We are currently implementing the extra recommended activity time into afternoon sessions using outdoor play activities as well as activities designed for classroom use.

. All activities will be fully inclusive.

PE funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on improving the provision of PE and school sport. However, schools do have the freedom to spend the money how they see fit within this remit, the aim is for all children to develop healthy life long attitudes towards healthy life styles.

At Totternhoe Lower School we are fully committed to fulfilling this role. During 2016-17 we received £8370.

The funding was used towards:

•Continuing to be part of Leighton – Linslade School Sports Partnership: giving us access to festivals and competitions, sports leadership training, an afterschool club, staff training and coach travel to competitions. (£3750)

•Sports coaching from The Future Games, providing lunchtime and after-school clubs (£6780)

At Totternhoe Lower School we understand the importance of PESS and a healthy life style. All activities are fully inclusive.
