Sport Premium Overview
Primary School’s Vision Statement:
Greenfield Primary School
At Greenfield Primary School we believe PE & Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better.
We welcomed the Government’s announcement in June 2013 to provide additional funding for 2 years to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. We are committed to using this resource in developing high quality PE lessons, alongside greater opportunities for sporting competitions and clubs for all our young people.
Sport Premium Grant
Funding for schools is calculated by the number of primary aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11) as at the annual census in January 2015. All schools with 17 or more primary aged pupils receive a lump sum of £8,000 plus a premium of £5 per pupil. Smaller schools will receive £500 per pupil. (DfE June 2013).

What does the Sport Premium mean for my School?
‘Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this’ (DfE June 2013).
At Greenfield Primary School we have split up the funding by the three key areas for consideration; Physical Education, Healthy Active Lifestyles and Competitive Sport. We have decided to spend the Sport Premium Grant on the following:
PE and sport
PE and sport is an integral part of our school curriculum. Sport is taught across school and the positive values of sport are an important part of our school ethos.
In 2014 / 2015 we used our Sport Premium funding to employ skilled professionals from Premier Team Coaching who helped to develop core provision and support all staff in their professional development. Our PE curriculum is broad and balanced. Games lessons are sport specific and includes football, hockey, tag rugby, netball, athletics, tennis and rounders. Detailed schemes of work provide the progression required to develop skills in gymnastics and dance. All the children receive a minimum of 2 hours of timetabled PE each week.
All staff have received 6 weeks training in the area of gymnastics, totalling £1400 from the Sport Premium budget. Staff observed the highly skilled sports coaches teaching gymnastics, to develop their own skills and confidence. Subsequently lesson observations show that staff are capable of delivering high quality gymnastic lessons, where children are engaged, motivated and demonstrate a high level of skills during the lessons (staff supply cover during the observations totalled £180 per day). Further training in other areas will be delivered during the next academic year.
All children are able to access our PE curriculum. Children represent our school at a local level, team level and later in the year will be involved in Gifted and Talented Events across the county in football and basketball. Achievements out of school are celebrated in our ‘Sports and achievements’ cabinets (£300) as well as in assemblies, any children who have participated in an event receive recognition for their efforts. The trophies and certificates are on central display and are often read by parents and carers.
Sports lunchtime clubs are also available for the children and Playground Leaders play a significant role in introducing and involving our youngest children to sports activities.
Since 2014 we have organised 4 colour teams, where children take part in competitive fixtures in netball, football, rounders and a traditional sports day, and a record of winning teams is kept where the winners will be announced in the Summer Term.The whole school will take part in our ‘house’ sports day.
In September only 25% of Pupil Premium children were accessing after school clubs. By introducing a wider range of lunch time and after school clubs and numerous taster sports sessions this number has significantly increased with all children across the school accessing sporting activities. This highlights the effectiveness of the Sport Premium initiative. During Autumn Term 2014 70 children accessed our 3 after school clubs – fencing, gymnastics and drama. As well as more than 20 children accessing an afterschool football tournament with an outside agency. All children access sporting provision during PE sessions and lunch time clubs. Clubs offered to pupils are changed on a regular basis depending on the interests and demands of pupils.
The School Sports Funding has been used to enhance what is already a huge commitment to sport and PE:
Tournaments Participated in 2013/2014 - 75 children took part in 8 fixtures against other schools
Our successes in 2014/2015 (so far) - 119 children have taken part in 13 fixtures against other schools
Purpose of funding
We have undertaken a PE and School Sport audit and developed our Sports Premium plan to raise standards and participation levels in PE throughout the school. Our rationale for the use of Sports Premium funding, which the Governors have agreed, are that it must be used so that:
Following the audit we have ensured that we have an extensive range of high quality equipment available for all of the children for all of the sports that we teach. It is important that the children have access to age appropriate equipment, e.g. children have a football each during games lessons – size 3 for 5 years to 8 years, size 4 for 9 years to 11 years.
What is the Impact of the Sports Premium Grant?
We will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish on-line information about how we have used the additional funding, including details about our sporting provision alongside curriculum details.
Increased opportunities for all of our pupils to access a wider variety of PE and Sports
Developed pupil understanding of the importance of keeping fit and healthy and ways that they can improve their health and fitness.
Pupils who are fitter, healthier and are motivated to continue to improve
Pupils who enjoy sport and play.
With the above rationale in mind, and following the guidelines for how to spend this money, our plans for the use of the Sports Premium 2015/2016 funding include:
