PE & Sports Premium

The Government is spending over £450 million on improving Physical Education (PE) and sports provision in primary schools.

Schools can choose how they use the funding, for example to:

• Hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers during PE lessons.
• Support and involve children by running after-school sports clubs and holiday clubs.
• Provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers.
• Organise sports competitions or increase pupils' participation in PE.
• Arrange sports activities with other schools.

At Sidegate Primary School we are committed to spending the sport premium in a sustainable way that will impact on the health and wellbeing of our children. We want to raise participation and attainment in PE across our school.

Swimming

At Sidegate Primary we use Fore Street Swimming Baths to support this area of the physical education curriculum. We aim for children to be able to, by the end of Year 6, swim 25 metres using different strokes and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

They will also learn:

• Confidence Building
• Stroke Improvement
• Self-rescue Skills
• Water Safety
• Basic Life Saving
• Certificates to prove attainment
