MENORAH PRIMARY SCHOOL

PE AND SPORTS GRANT 2020-21 (£19,318)

At Menorah we recognise the vital role that PE has to play in promoting a long-term healthy lifestyle that is both enjoyable and rewarding. We aim to provide a high-quality physical education curriculum that inspires all of our pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities. Physical education is at the forefront of our school culture and we believe this will enhance academic achievement, as well as the health and well-being of our pupils.

“A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.”

The Primary National Curriculum for PE can be downloaded here.

 

Current Practice at Menorah Primary School 

The aim is for all children at Menorah to be physically active every day. Therefore, we provide a broad range of daily activities for children to be active and develop a love for sport. Children will experience a variety of sports that help improve and maintain levels of fitness, and teach them how to use their bodies to their full potential.

Competition is used to motivate the children to achieve their best and to strive to improve themselves. We encourage healthy lifestyles for our pupils and would hope that they are able to engage in physical activity during lockdown.  We include PE in our remote learning programme.

 

How to help at home during the pandemic

 All children aged five or over should be physically active for at least one hour a day.
Physical activity helps children:
• grow strong muscles and bones
• maintain a healthy weight
• discover the world around them
• build their confidence
You can help by encouraging your child to find activities they enjoy and building physical activity into family life.

 

Ways to make exercise fun

  1. Walk, scooter or cycle to and from school together as often as possible. Read about the health benefits of cycling.
  2. Build a den or treehouse with them in the school holidays. Or, under supervision, encourage them to climb a tree or two.
  3. Go roller skating, rollerblading or skateboarding, indoors or outside. In winter, go ice skating.
  4. Do an activity challenge together, such as training for a fun run or charity walk. See the parkrun website for free weekly 5K runs near you.
  5. Support your kids in sports, clubs or any other activities that may interest them. Joining a weekend club sport encourages them to make a commitment to a team and regular exercise. Find sports and fitness activities in your area.
  6. Find time every weekend to do something active with your children. Play frisbee or football in the park, go trampolining, or try indoor rock climbing.
  7. Fly a kite. The Kite Society of Great Britain has local groups that meet for special flying days where experienced members offer advice and help. Some also run kite-making workshops.
  8. Take a trip to the beach. Beaches offer loads of ways for kids to get active, including games, rock-pooling, swimming, and plenty of running around. Or try an activity-based holiday.
  9. You’ll find more advice on getting active as a family on the Change4Life website.

Measurability of the PE & Sport Pupil Premium:

At the time of setting the budget, the ramifications of the pandemic and lockdowns were unknown. Funds will be reallocated to other areas of PE in order to maintain good provision even though not all groups of pupils attend school but are learning remotely

 

On return to school, the effect of the PE & sport pupil premium for the 2020 / 2021 school year will be measured in a number of ways:

  • The number of children enjoying before and after school clubs provided by Menorah Primary School
  • The number of children who can swim 25 metres + and show competency in a range of swimming strokes by the end of year 6
  •  The number of staff who have received further training in sport and PE provision
  •  The quality of teaching and learning in PE and Sport
  •  The range of teaching resources and sports equipment available for use during break times, lunch clubs, before and after-school clubs and PE lessons
  •  Quality provision of intra-school competitions during lunch times
  •  Access to and inclusion of our children in inter-school competitive events in the wider community with other schools.

 

Sustainability of these improvements:

  •  Continued success of over 85% of year 6 pupils swimming 1000m + by the end of year 6
  •  A continued broad provision of before and after-school clubs to enhance participation in sport for all pupils
  •  On-going high quality training for teachers and coaches to maintain the impact
  •  Extensive on-going competitive intra-school competitions during lunchtimes for all year groups
  •  Continued inter-school competition involvement for students in Key Stage 2
