To best achieve this, spending should focus on making improvements in 5 key areas, to assist in:
- increasing confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sporting activities
- increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sporting activities
- raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
- offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
- increasing participation in competitive sport
These may be achieved by:
- embedding physical activity into the school day by encouraging active travel to and from school and having active break times
- providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
- helping to provide equal access for all pupils to the range of sports and physical activities that the school offers
- providing continued professional development (CPD) for all staff
- providing extra-curricular opportunities for children to enable them to access other sporting activities or specialist sport instruction
- providing top-up swimming and water safety lessons for those pupils that do not meet national curriculum requirements after they have completed core swimming and water safety lessons
- providing specialist support to help children with additional needs to access and participate fully in PE lessons
- entering local school competitions and holding inter-house competitions in the school to encourage participation
