About the PE and School Sport in this school: Physical development and well-being of our children is well-led, inclusive, engaging
and having a significant impact. A detailed SWOT analysis of our provision enabled us
to strategically plan for change and facilitate development opportunities for children
to; be more physically active, access high quality physical education, experience
competition, impact the wider areas of our school curriculum, and improve attendance.
Membership with the YST has enabled us to review and challenge ourselves for
continued long-term improvement. As a result of employing a specialist PE teacher,
regular CPD during twilight sessions, team-teaching, collaborative planning, and
supportive coaching, we have started to see a sustainable change. We have targets
around ensuring that physical activity becomes a regular component of class routines
in KS2, in addition to PE lessons. Yoga and Tai Chi are used to promote mindfulness and
link to our SMSC curriculum. We will also utilise the benefits associated with active
learning through active number and word lessons.
Children in EYFS and KS1 have physical development provision and PE delivered by class
teachers and support staff, ensuring a sustainable model for the future. Children
experience weekly physical literacy lessons providing stimulus to develop the basic
fundamentals of movement and physical literacy. In addition, therapeutic outdoor play
provision is in place and regularly accessed. Children are encouraged to engage in
physical activity to support learning in core curriculum areas; actively developing their
phonics knowledge and numeracy skills through application in physically active
contexts such as active-phonics and football-phonics. Children in KS2 have a
progressive PE curriculum that looks to; build on, refine and embed the fundamentals
of movement and physical literacy. A strong emphasis of KS2 is on children becoming
resilient, reflective and self-aware learners along with developing the self-confidence
to competently lead other children in physical activity whilst pursuing their own
interests. These characteristics link to roles within our pupil leadership team which
creates the opportunity for children to lead children in many aspects of school life. To
aid with secondary transition; Year 6 children take part in weekly PE sessions at Malton
Secondary School. Here they are exposed to KS3 PE curriculum concepts and benefit
from experiencing sporting facilities and high quality teaching from PE specialists.
About the impact including evidence: Children are regularly assessed on their physical development across both key stages
in line with age-related expectations as part of our bespoke curriculum assessment
tracking tool. Over 84% of children from across KS1 and 2 are working at or above age-
related expectations (January 2016 Assesment). 87.8% of EYFS children have reached
their expected level of physical development in moving and handling goals, with a
further 9.8% having exceeded expectations for physical development in moving and
handling goals. We believe that physical development is an essential component of the
development of the whole child and as a result children performing beneath age-
related expectations are identified and strategically planned for in our inclusive
curriculum. We also provide inclusive physical activity lessons for individual children
requiring focused behavioural support within our local authority. 94% of parents
returning sports satisfaction questionnaires identified that they were satisfied with
the existing provision available to their children in school, of which 47% identified that
they were extremely satisfied (January 2016). Over 40% of Key Stage 1 and 2 children
are participating in a school club at least once per week. 24 Year 2 children participate
regularly in our weekly Change4Life club. A further 20 children also take sports
leadership responsibilities which engages a further 30-40 children in organised
physical activity each day.

Malton Primary School
About the PE and School Sport in this school: We aim to improve the quality of PE and increase the participation of sport, physical
education and activity within our school through the sports premium. Teachers ‘team
teach’ with the PE specialist, ensuring all staff value PE. This has so far created a
positive impact throughout the school in regards to the children’s health, behaviour
and focus within classes.
The school has introduced a new scheme of work called “Real PE” and “Real GYM” which
focus on the whole child and their development. We have invested financially and
emotionally in these schemes of work and are currently seeing the rewards through
staff visual observations. This includes the children’s self-assessment booklet that has
been created by the PE specialist. The school had issues with attendance, particularly
that of pupil premium children and wanted to develop an initiative to successfully
engage pupils. After consultations with parents and pupils we made a link with a local
martial arts club as we wanted an activity that promoted resilience and self-esteem
to overcome the traditional notion of PE activities only being for the physically able
and talented. We deliver up to three of these sessions per week (Foundation, Y1 / Y2
and Y3 - Y6). 60 - 70 children per week from the school have been regularly involved in
these sessions. This group of children who come from a vulnerable and disadvantage
background have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in these clubs and in a large
percentage of cases it’s actually improved their attendance, attainment and behaviour
in school as a consequence. We have also delivered a ‘Change4Life club’, which was
focussed on a selection of children who we believed would benefit from
self-esteem / self-confidence based activities that would encourage engagement in
PE We operate ‘Playground Leaders’, which gives children the opportunity to receive
high quality playground leader training, which enables older children to become a
‘coach’ and ‘mentor’ to younger children.
About the impact including evidence: The impact of all this activity is that our attendance levels
rose from 94.7 to 96.2% in 2015. The change in curriculum
and teaching methods has seen children develop into
‘master sports people’ without focussing on ability or
competition, but on developing confidence, resilience and
self-esteem. We are seeing drastic improvement in the
children’s social, cognitive, physical, creative and personal
skills through their interaction and participation in PE
Teachers are now more actively involved in PE lessons
through team teaching and the completed team teach
proforma sheets enable SLT to have a more detailed insight
into the quality of PE. Meetings between the PE sports
coach and the class teacher happen on a regular basis to
discuss the progressions and development of each child in
their class. Through this improved communicative
structure, teachers have a better understanding of the
child’s goals and can use this knowledge to encourage
improvement of skills and progress throughout that
specific period. We have created a self-assessment booklet
for every child in the school to take with them through their
school life. This helps the children visualise and recognise
what they have achieved so far in that half term in
comparison to the criteria of the scheme of work.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: We have allocated the Primary PE and Sport Premium to a Sports Leader’s salary. One
of the Sports Leader’s roles is to run an intervention programme every morning before
school that develops children’s stamina, co-ordination, improves their core stability
and develops their motor skills. This is called the ‘DICSO Movement Group’. While the
core aim of the intervention programme is to develop children physically, we have
found it has had a significant impact on children’s academic development too.
The DISCO Movement Group is planned in a way that is fun for children and each session
is tailored to the individual children’s needs. This can be achieved as there is a maximum
of 16 children in the movement group. The session is made up of children actively being
involved in a variety of activities to develop their stamina, co-ordination, core stability
and motor skills. They enjoy the range of activities including catching bean bags whilst
saying a colour, jumping in hoops with one and two feet and moving along benches.
The key to the movement group
is to use the everyday equipment
in school effectively and in a fun
way to develop the specific
physical needs for each individual
child. One of our current DISCO
group children has specific
exercises recommended by the
physiotherapy department and
we ensure he is provided with
lots of opportunities to take part
in these during the sessions. We
find that by holding the
intervention group before
school, children attend every
session and parents are very
willing to drop their child off at
school at half past eight to avoid
the usual school run.
About the impact including evidence: Our DISCO Movement Group also aids children’s concentration and has a positive
impact on their learning. The programme has changed throughout the years from an
intervention specifically targeting children with physical needs to one to which
teachers and specialists refer children with poor concentration. Teachers have found
that children who attend group are much “more alert throughout the day.” One child
who attended the group was discharged from the physiotherapy department on the
proviso that they “continued to attend the movement group.”
We have also found children have made more than expected progress in writing and
maths with some children making progress in line with their peers, even with
their difficulties. A child who had severe speech difficulties, learning difficulties
and dyspraxia attended movement group. In her last year at school she achieved
4 points in English and Maths. She made progress in line with her peers even with
her difficulties. Parents have also seen the impact attending movement group
has achieved. “I have seen the difference in my child. They have more control
and co-ordination.”

Holy Trinity Primary School
About the PE and School Sport in this school: Historically the school would have described itself as being ‘sports
focused’. Few children take part in any structured physical / team activity
outside of school due to financial issues or parental priorities. Clearly if
participation in physical activity was to change for children at Thanet, the
school needed to become a key player in facilitating this change.
The PE offered in terms of activities was not always broad and balanced.
The PE & School Sport Pupil Premium provided the school with the
motivation to address the issues. Previously, governors and the school
leadership did not see PE and school sport as such a high priority. Pupils
were occasionally excluded from PE lessons, extra-curricular activities
and competitions as a sanction for not adhering to the school behaviour
policy. This had a negative impact on some pupils with a few losing their
enthusiasm for PE and sport in general. However, in January 2016 Ofsted
identified PE and sport as one of the main strengths of the school. It is
now fair and reasonable to say that the school is not only ‘sports
focussed’, but uses sport as a driving force for whole school improvement.
All staff surveyed said that engagement improved in PE lessons and
school sport has had a positive impact on pupils’ in other curriculum areas
and wider school life. ‘The PE and Sport Premium funding is used well.
External support provides coaching and development for teachers. As a
result, more pupils are participating in a wider range of sports than
previously. Several teams have gained success when playing games
against other schools’. (Ofsted, 2016)
About the impact including evidence: The attendance of four year 5 and 6 children to the Bronze
Young Ambassadors training has encouraged more peer
leadership amongst the pupils. These pupils now lead clubs
of their own supported by a member of staff. Leadership is
also more widely encouraged in PE lessons with children all
having the opportunity to coach and assess each other.
Within recent governors’ meetings sport has become more
of a focus and seen as an integral part of the whole school
development plan. Governors are starting to question the
impact and success of sport and showing an interest in the
more unfamiliar activities. Sport is being used as a tool to
promote appropriate behaviour. All pupils are expected to
conduct themselves well in and around school; they are no
longer excluded from taking part in school sport for their
poor behaviour. Instead their inclusion in the clubs and
competitions has acted more as a motivating factor to
improve their behaviour and attitudes towards their
learning. This is reflected in the school behaviour logs.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: We have used the School Sport Premium funding to dramatically increase the
percentage of active children – up to 90% from Year 2 upwards so far this year. We
consulted the children who did not attend clubs what they wanted to do, as a result
set up clubs such as basketball, Zumba, cheerleading, street dance, fencing and golf.
Easter half term (April to May 2016) we will have three different lunchtime or after-
school clubs taking place in school every day of the week.
This level of sporting activity has led to St Wilfrid’s winning
the Active York School of the Year award in 2014 and 2016.
We passionately believe that getting children active at
primary school increases the chance of them staying fit and
active in later life, and also makes for happier, healthier
children who are more likely to make progress across the
curriculum. This year we are using a sports coach from the
local school sports network to work with our remaining
10% of inactive children who are not in a sports club as part
of curriculum-time Change4Life sessions. We have invited
these children to run with double Olympian Dame Kelly
Holmes in an attempt to hook them into a more active
lifestyle. Last year we spent £3,000 of Sport Premium
money on a new PE scheme for the whole school. Real PE
focuses on fundamental skills of agility, balance and co-
ordination through small step targets achieved through
simple but fun games. We encourage staff who come into
school to use Real PE targets to teach their sport. This
approach led to the school being nominated for an award
by Create Development, who recognised the impact we
were making in getting our pupils more active.
About the impact including evidence: The number of children attending extracurricular activities, from Year 2 upwards,
currently stands at 90%, up 5% from last year. (This figure stood at 45% before School
Premium funding). The children who are not attending any clubs have been invited to
take part in Change4Life sessions during curriculum time with a York School Sport
Network coach. The aim is to get them into one of our clubs. Parent Rachel Martin,
nominating the school for the sports award in 2016, said: “St Wilfrid’s has a very clear
belief when it comes to sport – encourage, experience and enjoy. I believe that the
school gives the children a chance to be Jessica Ennis for a moment. The school
wholeheartedly supports the belief that every child can have a go. The school may lack
some silverware in the trophy department, but it gives the children something much
more important: self-belief and confidence. They make each individual feel like
champions, learning along the way some valuable life skills which will serve them well
in later years.” Paula Stainton, chair of Active York, said: “St Wilfrid’s are very worthy
winners of the 2016 sports award. What we liked so much is that sport and activity is
fully ingrained in the whole school ethos: children, staff and parents all doing their bit.”
Year 6 pupil Niamh Tyssen said: "We have a great variety of sports at our school. There
is something for everyone, no matter what their ability. Everyone is encouraged to
have a try."

St Wilfrids
About the PE and School Sport in this school: The school have developed an excellent programme of
interventions to address an issue that affected their school.
Through the 'National Weighing and Measuring' Schools
programme, the school were identified in 2010 as being a school
that had a high % of children who were overweight or obese.
The following actions have been undertaken to develop a
healthier and more active school.
The PE coordinator recognised that there was not one isolated
quick fix solution to this problem but that a more holistic
sustainable approach was needed which would alter the ethos
and thought processes of the school, children and parents. The
following strategies have been employed cumulatively over a
number of years in line with Sport Premium funding:
1. Development of Playtime leaders - Y2 & Y6 children
2. Festival Participation - Regular attendance at all local
festivals and competitions to engage as many children
as possible.
3. Creation of 'Morning Breakfast Stars' club - targeted non attending children
throughout the year.
4. Development of Comprehensive Database of participation for after school clubs
to monitor attendance and identify non-participants.
5. Involvement of Parents through termly consultation - ideas / suggestions for
clubs feedback from existing clubs every term.
6. Holiday and School Swim Program for all Year 2 children - 12 week program in
curriculum and additional holiday swim program for under achievers.
7. Pupil Voice Through 'Every child matters' questionnaires.
8. Activate / dancing playgrounds - classroom exercise program and dancing
playground performance each week.
9. Community Club Focus - encourage a lifelong participation in PE and sport
10. Playground Development to support active play.
About the impact including evidence: As a result of the many initiatives the school are no longer considered to have a large
percentage of children who are obese or over weight. During the last academic year
the school have offered on average a total of 90 individual children access to after
school clubs, which equals 91.4% of the children in KS1. On average a child has received
21.47 hours of additional out of hours provision throughout the year. Before the swim
initiative 33.9% of children could swim either aided or unaided and 66.1% were
non - swimmers. After swimming 65.3% of children can now swim unaided,
34.2% children can swim with arm bands. Children are ALL active at playtimes,
“playtimes are fun and engaging, not only are children active they are also having fun.”
As a result of the school's systematic and thorough approach to developing PE and
Sport and their aim to embed PE and sport within the curriculum and out of hours
provision the school has achieved Gold KS1 Sportsmark for this academic year
(2015/16). The remarkable work of this school has led to a culture change throughout
the school community. PE, Physical Activity and sport is not just a subject on the school
curriculum, but an expectation of pupils, staff and parents that permeates the whole
school approach to daily life.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: 12 months ago we had a good offer of extra-curricular sports clubs but due to staffing
we were never able to offer the children in our school community the clubs that they
needed. We decided to create a leadership role for a teaching member of staff who
would lead Sport, Health and Wellbeing throughout school. The aims were to
strategically develop the school sport and physical activity offer and to increase
opportunities for participation across school.
An evaluation of the schools physical activity provision was carried out which
identified increasing engagement in physical activity as a priority. We had a variety of
extra-curricular clubs in place however we were also aware that at least 180 children
were not able to participate in any extra-curricular activities. As well as using the
School Sport Premium, we also successfully bid for £9,680 through Awards for All.
This enabled us access to more high quality coaching, to broaden the variety of
physical activity clubs on offer throughout school and increase the age range that
could access them.
Previously clubs have been offered on a first-come first-served basis. This didn’t ensure
fair access to all children. Now, all of our clubs are opened up by application to every child
that the club is available for. New systems ensure that we are able to target and prioritise
places for particular groups of children. These are children that class teachers have
identified as a priority because they are inactive at school and home, and may have social
or emotional needs that would be met by the club. Children are then selected at random,
but with a priority given to children who don’t attend any other clubs.
Our initial evaluation highlighted that there was limited participation by girls in extra-
curricular clubs. Following feedback from
children, we were able to offer clubs that
were more appealing to girls in school.
These now include, gymnastics, netball,
table tennis, multi skills, Class Dynamix and
dance. Participation rates amongst these
identified groups are now much higher.
Our clubs have been organised to try and
ensure that there are no barriers to
children taking part. One barrier was
children not having a club for their siblings
on the same night, so parents would have
to visit school twice to collect their
children. We have structured the
clubs timetable so that there are clubs
for all children in years 1-6 every night
where possible.
About the impact including evidence: There are now 225 weekly places available at 15 physical activity clubs throughout
school every week. Throughout school, 49% of children are signed up to an after school
sports club.
Other monitoring and evaluation shows participation levels of girls and boys and a
wider age range of participants at after school clubs. The time children spend active
in PE lessons has increased. The development of skills ladders has led to an improved
level of competence for children in all key areas of PE. An increased proportion in at
least ‘Good’ PE lessons.
PUPIL ENGAGEMENT IN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Shakespeare Primary School
About the PE and School Sport in this school: At Griffin Primary occasionally teams competed in inter- and intra- school
competitions organised locally and were successful in football but rarely in any other
activity. The school is central to an area of high social deprivation and the health data
identifies high levels of obesity and low levels of physical activity. The PE & School
Sport Premium provided the school with the motivation to address the issues.
Key activities: • Key staff; the school became the lead school of a cluster who appointed a PE & School
Sport Teacher Mentor who spends a day in each school each week. Their role is to
improve the quality of teaching and learning in PE and sport in order to make this
funding sustainable in the long term. They work alongside teachers from planning,
through delivery to assessment for this purpose and there is a rolling programme of
support so that teaching is developed across the PE curriculum and children enjoy
and therefore engage in the lessons on offer. An Attendance Support Officer with a
personal interest in sport and a PE Apprentice support the delivery of lessons for
children of all ages and facilitate some extracurricular activity.
• Resources; A major audit of resources revealed that a significant spend would be
required in order to deliver the range of activities which was planned and the school
prioritised this spend from its general budget. Member of staff have trained in
TopSport, Energy Club and Change4Life opportunities. Keen to have children active
in different ways, the school subscribed to Maths of the Day. The school subscribed
to the Youth Sports Trust and a noticeboard has been designated in the hall so that
children can see the activities which are taking place and to celebrate successes.
• Extra-Curricular Activities; As the appetite for PE and Sport grew the pupils began
to identify things they wanted to do. Many of these focused around dance and so on-
going six-week blocks of ‘themed dance’ have been delivered. Lunchtime coaching
is bought-in for Y5 & 6 who now are participating in a much wider range of sports
and developing their key skills and gamesmanship in the process. Lunchtime clubs
for younger children include a fitness club plus Energy Club and Change4Life
activities are introduced into Breakfast Club. Involvement after-school has also
promoted physical activity to parents who are supportive in this way. The school
established and trained a Sports Crew. These children are key within the organisation
of sports activities and ascertaining the pupil views.
• Partnerships; the school has developed partnerships with the professional sports
teams in the city – football and both rugby teams. This has focused on the delivery
of coaching sessions in curriculum time followed by an inter-school competition. In
a recent staff survey 100% of staff agreed or strongly agreed that the improved
lessons were having a positive effect on pupil engagement with children bringing
kit, looking forward to PE, joining in more & trying harder. This is supported by a
recent pupil survey that was carried out externally, with 99% of Key Stage 2 children
saying that they enjoyed their PE lessons. 97% identified the wide range of activities
they cover in PE as one of the reasons. 93% of pupils also stated that PE made them
want to do more sports outside of school. 75% of children attending a lunch club,
57% attending an after school club, with 43% of children attending more than one
club. The competitive element of school sport as really captured the children’s
attention with 63% of year 5 and 6 children and 43% of years 3 and 4 having taken
part in an inter-school competition.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: About the PE and School Sport in this school: The School is committed to making
PE and school sport an important and valuable part of their lives in both school
and the community. A PE Coach / Co-ordinator is in place to provide expertise,
however every class teacher delivers PE. There is a whole school planning folder
for each class, which includes planning and teaching ideas, these have been
developed by the PE Coach / Co-ordinator, but are added to by the teaching staff.
To ensure high standards are maintained, regular observation of PE lessons and
clubs is undertaken by senior management. A PE progression of skills plan is in
place to ensure that there is a clear development plan for all staff. Continuous
CPD, focussing on weaker areas is identified through lesson observations. All
teachers received CPD via Team Activ and all NQTs attended a PE coaching course.
Regular staff training/ meetings are delivered to keep up-to-date on current
policies. A CPD calendar is compiled by all leaders to identify current need and
provide opportunities for development. All staff participate in focused CPD, and
have opportunities to team teach alongside specialists and develop their and
children’s skills in ‘extra’ sessions. Calendar also identifies CPD opportunities with
external providers to ensure best practice is spread and the curriculum is
enriched. Good practice is shared between all staff in school and external coaches
to enhance provision for the children and reflect upon what has made a real
difference to the young person. Lesson plans are shared with teaching assistants
(TA) so that they understand their role / focus within each lesson. Their support is
well focused and makes a significant contribution to the quality of learning;
extending and enriching the curriculum. Dedicated training to the TA team allows
SEN children sufficient support to access lessons and support to develop
independent skills in a controlled environment. The Headteacher and senior
leadership team have high expectations throughout school with lots of
management support to assure high quality teaching is consistently occurring.
About the impact including evidence: Staff confidence in lessons has improved, with lessons assessed as ‘engaging and
challenging’ which has had a positive impact on behaviour in school. Specialist
coaches have given CPD which has developed staff knowledge and understanding
of skill development. Members of staff have then used ideas in P.E lessons to
further improve and develop children’s skills. This has ensured continued high
expectations and competitive outcomes, in which children have excelled.
Children are motivated to participate in P.E (P.E questionnaire 2015 - 94% said they
enjoyed P.E and 98 positive comments were recorded for children’s feelings
towards P.E) Children are now regularly remembering PE kits and we have seen a
significant drop in children not participating (on average less than two a week).
Children engage in new sports and try different concepts. Children’s views are
listened to – Skateboarding skills, martial arts, opportunities provided and
children signposted to out of school clubs.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: The Hemsworth Pyramid of 8 primary schools agreed to pool some of their funding
and pay a salary to the PE Specialist a secondary PE teacher from Hemsworth
Academy, to work full time for them in 2012 for at least 3 years.
The focus for the PE specialist and the eight schools was to improve the provision of
PE and sport in school by up skilling staff and improving staff confidence thus ensuring
sustainability. Their aims include providing a clear, structured curriculum that is
sustainable and consistent and to improve the confidence of those teachers involved
in the teaching of PE to deliver challenging, enjoyable and engaging lessons.
All schools now have a PE Development & Action plan and a Vision Statement on the
school website. The PE Specialist delivers 2 hours of PE lessons every week (78 hours
in total) to all year groups alongside the teaching staff
who have observed, team taught and delivered the
lessons with the specialist. The teachers also complete
a written self-review sheet at the start of the year and
the specialist works with the teacher in the lessons to
help develop any areas the teacher feels they lack
confidence in. This is then reviewed again at the end of
the year to compare the progress of the member of
staff. At the end of term, each teacher and pupil then
completes a written evaluation form to provide
feedback to the specialist for future development.
Our PE Specialist also does learning walks, has written
complete sets of lesson plans and run extra training for
staff developing knowledge in games, athletics, dance,
OAA, assessment and gymnastics
About the impact including evidence: 100% of all staff who have worked with the PE Specialist now feel more confident &
knowledgeable when delivering PE lessons. This is evidenced from the feedback forms,
the self-review forms and the Learning Walks.
Some staff have been trained to run specific sports and activity clubs for all children,
including targeting those children that maybe more disaffected. More children have
taken part in activities than last year and are experiencing enjoyable and engaging
lessons with a wide variety of activities, which will help them in their efforts to lead a
more, healthy, active lifestyle.
After observing our PE Specialist, OFSTED stated “The Sports Premium Funding is
being used effectively to improve the skills of teachers to deliver high quality lessons
in Physical Education. As a result, pupils are much more involved in physical & health-
related activities”.
Staff have completed written evaluations of all lessons and CPD. 100% of staff felt that
the content, delivery, engagement & enjoyment of the children in lessons was of a very
high standard.
100% of staff who completed the self-review sheet feel that they have improved in
more than one area of teaching a high quality PE lesson. The majority of teachers have
moved up 1 or 2 stages of the review sheet on most of the areas, and now feel that they
are “good” or “outstanding” in those areas.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: The leadership team at St Thomas More Primary identified that the confidence of teachers
in delivering PE was an area in need of investment. They needed support in developing their
ability to use the range of equipment and excellent space to its full potential enabling the
pupils to make the best possible progress in PE.
The decision was taken to invest in an experienced qualified primary
teacher, who has a range of PE specialist qualifications, including a
degree who works in school one day per week. In liaison with the PE
Coordinator the Mentor works with all staff to identify their areas of
development and assists with improving their confidence, subject
knowledge and lesson delivery.
The mentor has supported staff with all areas of the PE Curriculum,
including gymnastics, dance and games along with supporting staff to
deliver dinnertime clubs. Support has also been given to the PE
Coordinator creating development plans, reporting and assessing
standards of PE across the school and assisting with organisation of
competitions. The PE Mentor works with staff to plan and deliver
lessons in areas they feel least comfortable. The PE Mentor models many
lessons which are filmed and photographed by staff and also within
many lessons, teaching staff are given small groups to work with to lead
tasks and activities and are also given the opportunity to deliver and lead
key parts of the lessons with the support of the PE mentor. The PE
Mentor has worked and continues to work with all of the staff, including
Foundation Stage teachers and assistants, KS1 and KS2 teaching staff
and assistants along with some dinner staff and visiting students too.
As a result of the PE mentor role, standards of PE teaching have improved and moved forward
significantly as staff are more confident and have clear planning and new ideas, strategies
and knowledge to be able to deliver a high quality PE lesson. It is also observed that as a
result, children are enjoying their PE lessons far more and engagement, effort and outcomes
are at a good standard. A recent staff survey evidenced that 100% of staff agree or strongly
agree that their confidence in delivering PE has grown. Staff also fed back with personal
comments which included;
• ‘Teachers are now more confident in developing progress within lessons
and sequences of lessons’ (Class Teacher)
• ‘The PE Mentor has given excellent support in all aspects of PE’ (PE Co-ordinator)
• ‘The support with planning and organising PE lessons has enabled me to become
more confident in delivering PE lessons’ (Class Teacher)
The survey also evidenced that 63% of staff also ‘strongly agreed’ and commented on their
ability and understanding of using a range of equipment in their lessons had greatly improved.
• ‘We have been shown how to use equipment, which previously had not been used’
(Teaching Assistant)
• ‘Gymnastics is my least favourite subject to teach! I feel my confidence has really
improved now I have plenty of warm up ideas and activities and how it all links to the
objectives’ (Class Teacher)
As a school we have achieved Silver and Gold School Games Kitemarks which is a result of
emphasis and investment placed on PE and School Sport by the leadership team.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: Filey Junior School identified staff development as a key area of development to ensure
that the PE and Sport premium funding is sustainable within our school.
At Filey Junior School there was a high proportion of teachers, who needed up-skilling in
the teaching of PE.
The school developed the leadership of PE & sports by providing additional management
and release time for the PE co-ordinator.
This has allowed the PE coordinator to observe staff across the school to ensure that they
are teaching PE lessons which are at least good.
In September the schools used a portion of the PE
premium budget to employ a PE specialist to teach 4
classes in school. Allowing all staff, the opportunity to
observe high quality PE lessons. In addition to staff
observing these lessons we have videoed the lessons so
that staff can refer back to these and also so we have a
bank videos of best practice ensuring that future staff
have the same opportunity to observe and improve. As
well as observing the PE lessons, we have accessed
sport specific teacher training in football, rugby
and tennis.
A major opportunity to be active is at break and
lunchtimes so the Midday Supervisors have all been
trained on how to get children involved and we have
also trained some children to be 'Lunchtime Buddies'
so these children help to lead the sporting activities on
a lunchtime.
About the impact including evidence: As a teacher, PE teaching is an area where I feel less confident in providing quality,
differentiated learning. Following the introduction of a PE specialist and videoing /
modelling of lessons, my confidence has now increased. The management of the subject
means I'm aware of progression within each unit and feel able to ask if I'm unsure
In January 2016, 6 lesson observations were undertaken by the PE co-ordinator, all of
these lessons were found to be good, some of them had elements of outstanding. Staff
feedback Terry Ellis has been fantastic!
Lunchtime issues are quickly resolved and do not enter the classroom. Meaning that
children are ready to learn far quicker than before. Since the timetable's introduction
there have been far happier and enthused children.
Over the past year, I have noticed significant improvements in the provision of outdoor
activities at lunchtime. Due to a well-organised, efficient approach, activities are available
that appeal to all children whilst maintaining their safety. Following training, midday
supervisors seem more confident in their approach to behaviour management and this is
reflected by a decrease in behaviour-related incidents at lunchtime.
Pupil Feedback - “PE in this school is brilliant.” “I love all the different sports that we can
do.” “Lunchtimes are fun.”
Parent feedback - “The sporting event was an amazing day, thank you for letting us
share the experience. Well done to all involved.”

About the PE and School Sport in this school: Greatwood have endeavoured to adapt and improve our curriculum provision
so that every child wants to be physically active and engaged in sport.
During the 2015/16 school year we offered our children an excellent range of
opportunities to engage in sport. We ensured that opportunities were available
not only to play sport but to organise and officiate sports.
We are keen to ensure that participation is not just playing. We encourage
leadership, officiating and organising of sport. Students have accessed training
in Play Leaders, Playground Games, School Games Crews and Mini Whistlers.
We believe the skills they can learn are transferrable to all aspects of school
life. Year 6 children also have the opportunity to further develop their sports
leadership skills by engaging in the Playmaker scheme which involves the
children delivering sporting activities to the younger children both at
lunchtime and after-school.
We have up-skilled staff in order to improve the delivery of sport, with staff
members attending NGB courses. We broker relationships with local
organisations to support delivery, and to improve staff confidence and knowledge.
We try to give all children opportunities to access sporting activities; one of the ways we
do this is by delivering a Change4Life club for children in KS2. This encourages children to
increase their sporting activity and to live an active and healthy lifestyle. We have created
links with local charity, Skipton Extended Learning for All (SELFA), who delivered a fencing
taster session for children in our Change4Life club to give them an opportunity to try
something new. The club also provides links and opportunities to join local sport clubs.
We offer Year 5 children Playground Leader training which involves Year 5 delivering activities
on the KS1 playground at lunchtimes. We believe pupil voice is important and regularly ask
pupils for feedback on sporting activities and seek ideas for what else we can offer.
As also encourage our children to take part in sport outside of school by creating strong
links with local clubs and organisations
About the impact including evidence: There has been a vast improvement in the numbers taking part in activities and we have
had to develop our lunchtime sports to include a larger number of activities. In 2013/14
we had on average 30% of children in KS2 regularly taking part in lunchtime sport, this
increased to an average of 75% in 2014/15.
Listening to pupil voice and utilising funding to access activities that the children want,
has dramatically increased our participation levels. Levels of interest have increased and
we entered multiple teams into events to give all children who wanted to, the chance to
take part in competitive sport
As part of our Developing Sports Leaders programme we have diversified our range of
leadership opportunities for Year 5 and 6 children. These enabled children to learn the
foundations of leadership not only in sport but to apply these across lifelong learning. A
major achievement of our Playmakers was being shortlisted for the Sports Leaders UK
Young Leaders Awards in London, which sparked a visit from our local MP to witness first-
hand the outstanding sports provision we offer.
BROADER SPORTING EXPERIENCE
Greatwood Community Primary School
About the PE and School Sport in this school: At the School we believe that offering our children a broad range of physical activities
benefits the development of our children, academically, socially and emotionally.
Our initial step, to where we currently are, was to create a physical education
curriculum that was pertinent to our children in school and offer them a broad range
of physical activities. Secondary to this, was to form a partnership with the local SSP
with these two steps having had a twofold impact.
Firstly, we utilised the Real PE approach to physical activity
to design and create our own PE curriculum. Therefore,
based on this, we decided that for all children within school
the most important physical goals for them were to be
physically active and develop a wide range of physical skills,
such as jumping, balancing, throwing and catching.
Secondly, the partnership with the local SSP has both
underpinned and enhanced our PE curriculum delivery
within school. We set aside Wednesday afternoons as a clubs
slot for our key stage 2 children. These sessions are purely
focused on allowing the children to try different sports, such
as boccia, gymnastics, balance bikes, basketball and cricket.
This partnership has also allowed our staff to attend a range
of PE CPD opportunities in areas such as outdoor education,
Cue Zone Snooker, swimming and Physical Education
conferences.
It is the threefold approach of, a consistent and up to date curriculum model, regular
in school and out of school staff training and our partnership with the local SSP that
has allowed the children at the Special School to experience such a broad physical
education curriculum.
About the impact including evidence: The impact of this approach and believe in our PE curriculum has been twofold, firstly
our children have had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of activities, such
as ice skating, table top cricket, taekwondo, yoga and curling. These opportunities have
allowed the children to experience a wide range of physical activities, increase their
confidence in their physical skills and keep them enthusiastic about developing their
physical skills.
Secondly, whilst the main focus of our PE curriculum is to develop the children’s
physical skills, in every subject in school, the overall aim is to holistically develop each
child. Therefore we have also seen positive impacts on our children’s speaking and
listening, using and applying and PHSE attainment.
In the area of speaking, the percentage of children who did not meet their target has
dropped from 23% in 2013 – 2014 to 2.5% in 2014 - 2015, whilst we also saw an increase
in children exceeding their targets from 0% in 2013 - 2014 to 15% in 2014 – 2015.
Finally, in relation to using and applying, we have seen a positive trend in the
attainment of our children. In 2013 – 2014 the children who did not meet their targets
was 17% with this dropping to 0% in 2014 – 2015, whilst the % of children who exceeded
their targets went from 0% in 2013 – 2014 to 8.3% in 2014 – 2015.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: Martongate Primary School has used the sports
premium to greatly improve provision across
all the different areas of PE & School Sport
hence why our nomination in Broadening
Sporting Experience.
The school have used some of the Sports Premium
money to buy into an agreement with Tigers Trust
a scheme linked with Hull City Football. The
coaches provide curriculum support throughout
the year for staff in KS1 with special emphasis on
physical literacy. It also provides an after school
club for KS1 (an area we have been keen to
develop). The scheme also allows the school to
participate in numerous KS2 alternative sports
competitions against local schools. For these
competitions the school gives first priority to
those pupils who have not currently represented school
so far this year and those on the vulnerable group list.
The Sports Ambassador Crew within the school have
developed a rewards scheme for pupils representing the
school in competition. The children are keen to work
towards the next badge. The badge has a high status
within the school’s reward system.
Sports Ambassadors and Play Leaders run lunchtime
clubs and activities for all year groups and promote the
competitions they run through assemblies. These
competitions range from organised football games to
one off sporting challenges - how many skips can you do
in 20 seconds for example. The Sports Ambassadors and
Play Leaders then produce certificates for those involved.
Sports leaders from the secondary school next door have
also got involved. We are also holding a Primary Sports
Ambassador Conference in the summer term where
community sports clubs from the less traditional sports
are going to spend an afternoon in school, where pupils
and parents can have a go.
A survey of pupils showed that Volleyball was a sport they
were interested in, Ben Pipes, ex GB Volley Ball captain
came into school during the summer term last year and
led an inspirational assembly as well as coaching every
child in KS2. We also have a golf professional visit the
school regularly too and it’s no coincidence that we have
won the Humber School games level 3 for the last 3 years
at YR5/6.
We have seen a significant rise in the number of pupils
involved in some form of competitive sport over the last
two academic years. The number of disadvantaged girls
is up from 39% to 61%

About the PE and School Sport in this school: At Moortown Primary, we pride ourselves on being a happy and healthy place to learn.
We ensure this funding is invested (rather than ‘spent’) to maximise the long term
impact of our PE provision for pupils and staff. Our provision plans show how we’re
investing the money and the way we closely monitor the impact of these initiatives
through assessment of children’s skills, staff and pupil feedback, uptake of clubs etc.
Children tell us they enjoy being active and want to take part in different physical
activities (Pupil health questionnaires, School Council minutes). As a response to this,
we have invested part of our PE premium in providing a broader sporting experience.
Physical activity after-school clubs are fully subsidised using our PE Premium and offer
a range of physical activities based on pupil feedback and annual pupil health
questionnaires. These include yoga, dance, gymnastics, athletics, netball, rugby,
soccercise, targeted Change4life clubs and new sports introduced to school including
tchoukball and korfball through employing a sports coach as a teaching assistant
in school.
Through our work with local sports organisations we have developed local links,
provided professional development for staff and offered a variety of sporting
experiences for our children. Themed weeks also provide the opportunity to work with
other providers to deliver additional physical activities, for example yoga and tai chi.
Through our investment in the Active Schools partnership we have offered our
children opportunities to have a wider sporting experience. This has included dance,
rugby, triathlons and other competition opportunities. A new Year 4 residential has
been partly subsidised using the PE Premium - for more information, please see
our website.
About the impact including evidence: Physical activity was recognised as a strength in the school’s Healthy Schools
moderation: ‘The passionate and highly dedicated team that lead on PE and Physical
Activity (including the dedicated sports coach employed by the school) has raised the
profile of the subject and inspires confidence in both staff and children. The children
spoken to on the day commented on how this has impacted positively on their
experience of the subject, both in and outside of the curriculum’.
By providing a broader sporting experience, children are now more engaged with
physical activity. This is evident from our physical activity tracker. This tracker monitors
club uptake, competition entries and other physical activities.
Responding to the question ‘How good is your school at encouraging you to have a
healthy lifestyle?’, 88% of pupils said ‘very good’ and 10% said ‘good’. In our pupil health
questionnaire there was a lot of positive feedback about PE: ‘I really enjoy PE.’ ‘I think
the lessons are run well as we do a variety of sports.’ ‘I enjoy PE because it is really
active.’ ‘I think PE is great and a way to keep fit and healthy.’
We closely monitor every initiative to ensure we achieve the maximum impact of
the funds. Further impact through children’s quotes and staff feedback is available
if needed.

About the PE and School Sport in this school: Christopher Pickering Primary School was opened in 2011 after merging
Bethune Park and Tilbury Primary School. We have worked extremely hard on
our sports teams and PE provision, having fantastic results with many of our
teams. The funding primary schools receive to help PE and Sport
has significantly helped Christopher Pickering develop the amazing
culture we currently maintain. Our extensive blog is the best way to see our
full provision.
As a new school, we wanted to build firm foundations and get involved in
school sports within Hull and its rich sporting community. We wanted to
ensure our pupils had ample opportunity to represent their school at inter
school competitions in a wide range of sports. We also wanted all children to
take part in whole school intra school sporting competitions. In 2014, we
achieved the School Games Gold Award.
Our young sports leaders play a large part in our sporting provision. On a daily
basis, eight leaders organise and referee competition for years three, four, five
and six. This has not only improved the quality of skill; children are getting a
better understanding of sporting etiquette, respect and sportsmanship.
We have recently started a children’s Sports Council to help organise events
and allow children to feedback to staff their feelings about the school’s PE
provision. In addition to the competitions calendar, we use extra-curricular
clubs to give children further opportunities to practice and hone skills learn
in their PE lessons. In 2014/15, Christopher Pickering had 84% of its children
attending an extra-curricular sports club. In order to inspire and engage
pupils, we try to provide them with chances to try something new. We are
proud of the sporting opportunities we offer our children through specialist
coaches, trained professionals and competitions. These include Trigolf,
Goalball, Boccia, Orienteering, Morris Dancing, Street dancing, Lindy Hop,
Baseball, Boxing, Ballet, Ice Hockey, Figure Skating, Badminton, Rugby League,
Squash and Archery.
Whole school sporting events and celebrations are a regular occurrence at Christopher
Pickering and 2013/14 was no different. Every child from Years 5&6 (85 in total!)
organised and ran a Sports Relief Mile event for the school. Our young leader's roles
included pace makers, warm up coaches, official time keepers and stewards. The event
was very successful and really demonstrated the strength of our young leaders. Our
final whole school event of 2014/15 was our School Games Day. We held our event at a
local athletics club and used their facilities to give the children a "professional"
sporting experience.
As well as holding and attending lots of sporting events, we have also worked hard to
build close relationships with several professional and amateur sporting clubs in Hull.
Many of these sporting opportunities came from taking full advantage of the
Sainsbury's School Games.
100% of children think they have lots of chances to play different sports at Christopher
Pickering. 88% of children have tried something new in PE and 100% of children

About the PE and School Sport in this school: The school have an extremely positive approach to
competition as a whole, including level 1, 2 and level 3
school games events as well as other competition
pathways and opportunities. Although numerous schools
perceive competition negatively the School are able
to have a fully inclusive sporting promise to children
entering school.
Throughout their time at School, every child will have the
opportunity to represent school at something and the PE
coordinator is dedicated to providing this opportunity. The
school utilise their funding to ensure that they compete in
almost every competition on offer to them. These
opportunities include local fixtures with A, B, C and D teams
in specific sports as well as access to class festivals and
inter school competitions across the 3 form entry primary
school, each half term.
The school access the competition pathway through School
Games as well as any other competition pathways on offer
to them. These include local football clubs, Sheffield
Federation for School Sport Events (on a weekend), National Governing
Body opportunities, local sports projects any many more. The school relies
on a fantastic support mechanism from staff and parents who take
numerous teams to festivals on a weekly basis. Although very successful
at most events the children at the School always showcase the spirit of
the games values and are respectful to officials.
The school currently have Silver School Games Mark and are actively
working towards the Gold Mark for engagement in competitions and have
already reached the targets for this academic year.
About the impact including evidence: The impact of competition as a whole across school is that the children
are all more interested in PE and school sport. The use of sport and
competition from Early Years right through to year 6 means that the
children have a higher level of engagement and therefore a higher level
of physical literacy overall.
This follows through to Secondary school as the majority of children at
the local Secondary school who are engaged in PE and sport, come from
the School. As discussed above there is a tracking system in place that
ensures that different children are able to excel at different activities and
work has actively taken place to ensure that links are made from school
teams, to community teams where possible.

PE, including gymnastics. This has resulted in increased participation of both girls and
boys with many joining clubs and competing within school and out. A Key Stage 2 squad
of 40 children recently competed in the Key Steps Gymnastics competition.
We have increased the amount of lunchtime and afterschool clubs to encourage
children of all abilities to be involved in sport and competition. Due to this we have an
increased participation in teams competing at all levels. During the summer of 2014
we developed a relationship with the Pennine Sports Partnership and took 12 Year 6
children to a National Schools Sports Week event in which the children developed their
leadership skills supporting Year 4 children taking part in the event. This was so
successful that this partnership has grown year upon year.
Last year we took 36 children from Year 6 over six days to support and lead children
from throughout Kirklees. In 2015 we held our annual sports day which included all
children across the school mixed in different teams that competed in a range of
sporting activities lead by a mix of staff and volunteers which included New College
students and University students. This further developed the community links within
the extended area.
About the impact including evidence: Comparing Autumn 2014 (26%) to Autumn 2015 (47%) we have seen a huge increase in
participation, with children now on a waiting list. The work with the sports leaders has
increased the confidence of all the children involved, some of whom previously
struggled socially and emotionally.

It is without doubt that here
at Moorlands Primary School;
morale, enthusiasm and
confidence in every child has
increased dramatically due to
our ever increasing
participation in a range of
competitive sporting events.

sports coach along with
committed and enthusiastic
staff who have had a huge
impact on increasing
opportunity and
encouragement in

always demonstrated. We
continue to go from strength

About the PE and School Sport in this school: Settle primary School has worked tirelessly to increase their
participation in competitive sports. After appointing a PE trained
teacher to organise the delivery and pathway of competitions for the
cluster, competitions taking place in North Craven has raised from 11 to
23. We have entered teams in all regional competitions and often enter
a competitive team and a broad participation team. The school are North
Craven and Craven Champions in athletics and came fifth in the North
Yorkshire Finals 2016.
The School has introduced a House competition at KS2 which has
allowed for a rise in students taking part in competitive sports in school
by 100%. The house competitions allow all students who compete for
their House at the end of each school term, to compete in the sports
which they have learned during their PE lessons. There has also been an
increased number of sports clubs taking place after school with six
different clubs each week. These clubs have a focus on competition,
leadership and teamwork and have been well supported by the students
with vast participation at both Key Stages. The Year six students have
taken part in a Playground Leaders course during their lunch hour once per week for
15 weeks. They have all invented a competitive game which they now lead on at lunch
time for the rest of KS2 to take part in.
We have rewarded those who have taken part in competitive sports through praise
assemblies and a notice board dedicated to sports and competitions. There is a very
strong drive towards wanting to represent the school from students. They have a
passion for competing at both school and club level meaning that in many
competitions Settle have entered A, B and C teams.
About the impact including evidence: Our children have achieved great success in local, district and regional events such as
the Yorkshire School Games for netball, cross country, rugby and athletics. The school
enters A and B teams to ensure more students get involved in competition. 100% of
students in KS1 have participated in competitive sports in North Craven competitions.
68% of students in KS2 have participated in competitive sports in North Craven
competitions and 100% of students in KS2 have participated in competitive sport
during PE this year. Ofsted praised the school for the range of sports offered and the
expertise and quality of provision offered in Rugby and Judo.
63% of class 3 / 4 go to at least one sports club at Settle Primary each week. 75% go to
more than one competitive club in the area outside of school. Class 5/6 - 68% of class
5 / 6 go to at least one sports club at Settle Primary each week. 71% have represented
settle at a competitive sports event this year, and 57% go to a club outside of school.
Academically the increased sports participation matches our school motto to 'work
hard and play hard'. We are experiencing greater calm at play and dinner times.
Inclusivity means that opportunities are available for all abilities. Disadvantaged pupils
in particular are able to access activities, and improved performance in terms of
academic results is a trend that we are noticing. There has been a big social impact
including building leaders and encouraging principles of fair play, cooperation,
sportsmanship, trying hard and coming to terms with things not going your way. In
terms of performance our pupils are better at competing and not so easily
disheartened. Participation in regular competitions has meant they are more willing
to accept failure as well as success.
