PE and Sport Premium

From September 2013 onwards, all schools received additional money from the government to improve PE and sport provision. This funding is used to improve the provision of PE and sporting activities for the benefit of pupils at the schools.

At Avenue Primary we are committed to providing pupils with good quality P.E and sporting provision so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles. Our pupils participate in indoor and outdoor physical activities on a weekly basis and enjoy the facilities of a purpose built sports hall and a large Multi-Use Games Provision.

Our P.E lead, alongside our Sports coach and other coaches aim at all times to improve the quality of P.E and sport provision within in the school whilst ensuring that this area of provision becomes firmly embedded into the life of the School.

Funding received is used to fulfil our aim to provide opportunities to:

• Develop P.E within the School
• Provide opportunities to take part in competitive games and sporting activities
• Increase pupil fitness and awareness of healthy lifestyles

In order to achieve these aims we focus upon three main areas:

Focus 1: To provide staff with continued professional development, training and resources to support them in teaching P.E more effectively

Focus 2: To recruit the services of qualified staff and sports coaches to increase opportunities for pupils to participate in a range of extra-curricular and competitive sporting activities

Focus 3: To provide opportunities for our pupils to engage in sports and physical activities which positively impact their heath and enable them to develop healthy attitudes and lifestyles as well as a love of sport and physical activity
