PE and Sports Premium Report 2023-2024

Review of last year’s spend and key achievements (2022/2023)

Comments

Balance bikes and balancing equipment have been bought and implemented in Early Years.

Children coming in to Nursery from 2YO provision have noticeably better gross motor, balance and bike skills than previous cohorts. This is also visible in children transitioning from Nursery to Reception and Reception to Year 1.

Children enjoy their outdoor time in Early Years due to the increased variety of activities available. This means that children are able to stay on task for longer therefore increasing their active time, physical development and stamina.

Children have access to iPads to support the teaching and learning of PE skills during all PE lessons.

Children are able to re-watch modelling of skills and tasks and self-differentiate throughout PE lessons.

They can identify which skills need to be practised further by choosing appropriate challenges on the iPads.

This has mostly been used in KS2 with good results. Going forwards, we need to implement this more in KS1 to build these children’s independence.

At Horton Grange we provide lots of opportunities for children to be active for at least 30 minutes daily.

All children in school have 45 minutes of outdoor time daily. During this time, children are encouraged to actively take part in physical activity including: playing football, running games and playing on the climbing frame. We have used the sports premium funding to provide resources such as: skipping ropes, balance boards and a variety of bats and balls for the children to play with outdoors. PE is timetabled for all children from Nursery to Year 6. All children in Nursery and Reception have a weekly 40 minute PE session in addition to outdoor activities. All children in KS1 & 2 have 2 hours of timetabled PE, weekly. All teachers in school are aware of how important it is for the children to have brain breaks in their classes and allow the children to take part in guided dance or movement for 3-5 minutes in the afternoon using programs such as Go Noodle.

The importance of physical activity is embedded in pupils and staff across school.

Purchase and installation of outdoor gym equipment.

The installation of the gym equipment has been a huge success. The equipment is well used by the children and extremely popular. Rules and routines have been established and are followed by the pupils to ensure fair and safe use of the equipment. Children are confident using the equipment and can transfer these skills to similar activities inside and outside of the school environment.

The equipment has a ten year guarantee, and is also regularly inspected by the site team for issues or wear and tear. We will continue to remind the children about the rules and routines and reinforce these to ensure fair and safe use of the equipment at all times.

Top up swimming and water safety sessions

Top up sessions have managed to be arranged at a local swimming baths for the first time this year. This has not been possible previous years due to capacity. The children have made good progress from where they started, especially with water safety knowledge.

The teaching staff in each year group have provided at least one half-term’s worth of physical/sports after school clubs as part of our extra-curricular offer this year. These have been extremely popular and well attended by the pupils and have included football, yoga and multisports clubs.

The only available pool space is quite small and we could only send 15 children for the top up sessions. It was decided to send the 15 weakest swimmers from the end of Year 4 for the additional swimming lessons in Year 5. It would be good to try and get more spaces for additional swimming lessons in the 2024-2025 academic year. We will also target the support towards the children who are currently just missing NC targets at the end of Year 4 and then change the additional swimming cohort once those children are meeting the standards.

Extra-curricular sports clubs

Bradford City Football club have provided two after school clubs per week for two different year groups each half term. In addition, Bradford City have delivered a 12 week Sports Leadership course for Year 5 children, developing skills that the children are demonstrating and implementing across school and will continue to do so next year and beyond.

We will continue to provide the wide range of extra-curricular activities provided by teaching staff and BCFC. The next step is to get a wider range of clubs run by external providers now that we have the additional space in the KS2 Hall to run these clubs.

Encourage children to walk to school as part of the Healthy Lifestyle push, using the WOW Walk to School Challenge.

The WOW Walk to School Challenge has been very well received by the children and is a topic of conversation as well as a personal motivator for many. The school is 4th in the local authority for engagement and active travel has increased from 68% in November to over 90% now.

Class teachers will continue to promote the WOW Challenge and allow time for the challenge to be completed each day. This will keep the children engaged and choosing active travel over other methods.

Swimming Data

Question

Stats:

Further context

Relative to local challenges

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres?

39%

This cohort of children went swimming in Year 4, at which time we could send classes of 30 with a ratio of instructors: swimmers of 1:10. This data is the outcomes of the swimming lessons at the end of Y4. No further data is available on pupils who may now be able to swim proficiently as no further lessons were possible lessons were possible due to a lack of available swimming provision. These pupils may have taken lessons outside of school and therefore may now be proficient in swimming.

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort can use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke]?

 

13%

This cohort of children went swimming in Year 4, at which time we could send classes of 30 with a ratio of instructors: swimmers of 1:10.

This data is the outcomes of the swimming lessons at the end of Y4. No further data is available on pupils who may now be able to swim proficiently as no further lessons were possible lessons were possible due to a lack of available swimming provision. These pupils may have taken lessons outside of school and therefore may now be proficient in swimming.

What percentage of your current Year 6 cohort are able to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations?

8%

This cohort of children went swimming in Year 4, at which time we could send classes of 30 with a ratio of instructors: swimmers of 1:10. This data is the outcomes of the swimming lessons at the end of Y4. No further data is available on pupils who may now be able to swim proficiently as no further lessons were possible lessons were possible due to a lack of available swimming provision. These pupils may have taken lessons outside of school and therefore may now be proficient in swimming.

If your schools swimming data is below national expectation, you can choose to use the Primary PE and sport premium to provide additional top-up sessions for those pupils that did not meet National Curriculum requirements after the completion of core lessons. Have you done this?

Yes

There is very limited space locally for top up swimming lessons, so this has had to be limited to 15 pupils at the local university pool. This year is the first year we have been able to find any availability, so the current Year 5 are the first cohort to benefit from this provision. The current Year 6 children who we are reporting on did not receive any top up swimming lessons.

Have you provided CPD to improve the knowledge and confidence of staff to be able to teach swimming and water safety?

No

Swimming lessons are provided by the local authority and their swimming instructors.
