Allocation: £10,121.00

(NOTE: Allocations are made by financial years and not school years!)

Balance at start of 2016- 2017 school year: £8,191.00

Activity / Cost / Intentions / Impact
Long Jump / £0 / Introduce Long Jump as a whole school activity with a Jump to Japan project. / The Long Jump track and pit was installed during the summer break 2017. This was achieved using money rolled over from 2016- 2017 and adding money from the new 2017 grant. Therefore, we were unable to introduce lonh jump as we had planned in the 2016- 2017 school year. Two applications were made and both were turned down. The delay in starting the ‘Jump to Japan’ project meant a decision was taken to postpone the project by one school year.
Martial Arts / £2108.75 (coach + belts) / Provide a second year’s course for all pupils on MARTIAL ARTS with a professional coach. / All pupils experienced a second structured ten week course with a professional coach. All pupils were entered for a second grading. Self- control as well as school values (Respect, collaboration, Resilience) were reinforced.
There is no physical contact involved in these lessons.
24 pupils have moved on to after school Martial Arts clubs. Of these 18 progressed to higher grades.
98% pupils achieved their second belt and pupils who did not achieve the grading last year, did so this year. All Holbrook pupils now have at least one belt as a result of grading and most have two.
Sports Collaborative / £95.00 / Subscribe to the TROWBRIDGE COLLABORATIVE PE offer and the WEST WILTS SPORTS PARTNERSHIP. / Subscription to Trowbridge Collaborative and West Wilts Sports Partnership ensured Holbrook pupils could participate in local sporting tournaments and leagues. Holbrook pupils have participated in: cross country runs; the football league; girls’ football tournament; swimming gala and the West Wilts Dance Festival. As well as increasing competitive opportunities for pupils, 24 pupils took part in an external event for the first time.
The Sports Ambassador scheme, introduced last year, was abandoned as the number of pupils involved was too small with a high need for staff supervision.
Venue for KS2 Dance Festival / £50.00 (Deposit paid in previous year) / Repeat the success of the 2016 KS2 DANCE FESTIVAL by hiring Trowbridge Civic Hall to accommodate parents and all pupils for a festival in 2017. / The Civic Hall was used for a second year as a venue for the KS2 Dance Festival. It is used because it is an excellent venue which provides pupils with an enhanced experience through the use of professional technical support. All KS2 classes participated in two dances. Parental attendance increased on last year. Nearly 300 free tickets were issued.
Playground equipment / All funded by other grants / Further improve the TRIM TRAIL by adding extra items. / Additional items were added to the Trim Trail at the edge of the playground and new equipment was added to the field. All items were funded through grant applications. The Task Force applied to Wiltshire Council and was awarded £8332.38 for play equipment.
Holbrook Blues / £265.50 / Celebrate participation in sport through the introduction of the HOLBROOK BLUE, a badge awarded to pupils who represent the school in tournaments, matches and games. / The Holbrook Blue has been a huge incentive for many pupils to participate in teams and events, representing the school. One blue is awarded for each activity a child participates in, e.g. one Blue for the football season and one Blue for a cross country event.
Other Expenditure / £85.50 / Fair Trade footballs £45.50
Football Team Vouchers £40.00 / Pupils requested these items following the success of the football team in the Trowbridge League.
TOTAL / £2,604.75 / Carry forward will be used to fund the long jump track and pit
Our Intentions- 2016- 2017 / What Happened?
In the 2016- 2017 school year we shall further develop PE and Sport by focusing on:
  • whole school participation
/ All pupils took part in competitive and collaborative events across the year. Wake Up, Shake Up weeks were whole school activities.
All pupils participated in a ten week Martial Arts course at some point in the year with grading to earn belts.
  • an increase in the number of pupils participating in competitive sports
/ The number of competitive races at Sports Day was increased following heats held in class PE lessons. Pupil requests for more races were granted. Only pupils happy to race in front of spectators took part in the finals.
Holbrook Blues were introduced to recognise pupil participation in teams representing the school.
The Football Team won the Trowbridge League!
Holbrook fielded teams in all cross country events: boys and girls; UKS2 and LKS2.
Holbrook entered a swimming team in the Trowbridge Gala and was placed fourth.
  • the promotion of healthy lifestyles
/ Wake Up, Shake Up exercise routines were held every day for a week on six occasions during the year and alongside the Fun Runs from Term Three.
Assemblies before Fun Runs emphasised the healthy aspect of exercise and the Martial Arts course was used to reinforce physical and mental fitness.
  • a new sport for all children
/ Long Jump was to be our new sport in this year but its introduction was not possible because of the delay in providing a pit and track.
Pupils in EYFS were new to Martial Arts and pupils in Y3 were new to the Dance Festival.
  • involving parents and carers
/ Parents joined us for Wake Up, Shake Up as well as the KS2 Dance Festival and the annual Sports Day. Parents of participating pupils also attended competitive events such as cross country and football.
Outcomes for Pupils / Successful? / Development
  • Every child will complete a Martial Arts course designed to increase self- control, resilience, and personal levels of fitness (core, upper body, upper leg and cardiovascular).
/ Yes. / A third year course of ten weeks has been designed to enable pupils to achieve an even higher grading with an emphasis on core skills.
  • Every child will be encouraged to improve their personal best in Long Jump.

  • Every child will start a new sport.
/ In Part / EYFS pupils started Martial Arts. Y3 pupils joined the Dance Festival. 12 Y5/6 girls took part in football festival.
The lack of long jump as an activity was a limiting factor in this objective.
