PE and Sport Premium
Curriculum - Sports and Physical Education
Our children participate in a wide range of physical activities designed to develop P.E. skills and promote a healthy lifestyle. These take place in our well-equipped hall, on our 'multi-sport' outdoor court, at Mudford Recreation Ground, which is a short walk away, or using the facilities of secondary schools or other sports venues in the Yeovil area.
Qualified sports coaches work alongside staff to provide high quality coaching and develop our links to community sports clubs. In upper KS2, children are able to apply to be on the sports committee, where they provide support for children in school by, for example, running lunchtime clubs and supporting with sporting fundraisers.
Some classes in KS2 have weekly swimming lessons for 20 weeks, each academic year at Goldenstones Leisure Centre. We request a parental contribution for swimming, which contributes towards the cost of transportation by coach, the hire of the pool and some of the tuition.
We also compete in cross country, indoor athletics, football, tag rugby, basketball and netball matches against other schools on a regular basis and take part in the Yeovil inter-school Area Sports and Swimming Gala. Cricket and rounders are played in the Summer term. The sports committee produce sports reports for the school: Cross Country, Hockey, High Fives when they have attended an event.
Schools receive additional funding from the government to promote and develop sport in school. To find out how we used this funding last year, see our report on PE and sports grant funding.
The PE and sport premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils.
