- PE and Sport Premium
We offer a wide range of sporting opportunities to all children across the school. Our challenging physical education curriculum enables pupils to be physically literate and have the knowledge, skills and motivation to inspire them to live a healthy, active lifestyle. We encourage children to try as many different sports as possible in order for them to discover their skills and develop a lifelong love of sport.
The Education Funding Agency provides additional funding to each school every academic year to improve provision of Physical Education (PE) and Sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - is ring-fenced and can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
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.
Danesfield School will spend the money in the academic year 2024-2025 on the following:
Enhance Staff CPD and Confidence in PE - Provide specialist-led training and support in Dance, Gymnastics, and general PE to improve staff competence, especially for ECTs, through planning, delivery, and assessment.
Increase Participation and Inclusion - Boost engagement in multi-sport festivals and inter-house/class events, with a focus on children with SEND and the least active, while promoting lifelong healthy habits.
Promote High-Quality PE Provision - Utilise specialist PE teachers and sports coordinators to deliver CPD, conduct learning walks, and ensure robust subject knowledge and pedagogical routines across all staff.
Improve Resources and Accessibility - Assess and provide diverse equipment for PE lessons, extra-curricular activities, and structured games, empowering Year 6 Sports Leaders to lead lunchtime activities.
Offer Diverse and Inclusive Opportunities - Facilitate representation in sports fixtures, free lunchtime clubs, Forest School programs, and activities emphasizing problem-solving and physical challenges.
Develop Comprehensive Physical Education - Focus on progression in skills, water safety, swimming confidence, and enriching children’s understanding of movement and healthy living.
