Sports Premium 2023 2024

Use and impact of sport premium funding

In the 2023-2024 academic year we spent £29 340. This meant we spent our whole allocation, which included money carried forward from the previous year.

The aim of our sport premium spending is to ensure that all children at South Green Juniors are given the best possible opportunities to access regular physical activity, high quality teaching, broad active experiences and high quality resources.

We used our sport premium funding to improve the quality of PE and sport provision in with the following intended outcomes:

1) The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school using it as a tool for whole school improvement.

2) Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.

3) Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.

4) The engagement in all pupils in regular physical activity.

5) Increased participation in competitive sport.

·More children being active on the playground

Playleaders have been trained and will promote games on the playground. New basketball hoops and football goals have got more children taking part in those activities on their days. New playleader equipment is being used by children to play with.

Children will take part in a wider variety of sports (even if only for a taster session) and more sports will be available at the school.

Display of sporting groups is up by the library and certificates of 1st, 2nd and 3rd performances are put up in the reception. Photos and write-ups included on newsletters after events.

Improve the PE academic performance of PPG and SEND pupils.

Barrier plans for pupils with suggested ways to help overcome barriers in PE have been created and are annotated by staff for each unit of work. PE Lead has used leadership time to co teach with teachers and drop into lessons to help them. This has helped identify barriers and offer support for some SEND and PPG students such as finding barriers for why some students were not taking part in PE.
