PE and Sport Premium

PE at Cedars Park Primary School is an important part of school life. The aim is to encourage pupils to have a life-long interest and enjoyment of physical activity. All pupils have at least two hours of high quality PE timetabled where they follow the new National Curriculum. Pupils in Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils develop fundamental skills looking specifically at movement, agility, balance, coordination, individually and with others. Pupils in Key Stage 2 build on their work in Key Stage 1, improving their skills and understanding in a variety of areas of activity including games, athletics, gymnastics, dance, outdoor activities and swimming. Taking part in competitive games is also a key part of the Key Stage 1 & Key Stage 2 curriculum. 

Pupils are also given the chance to take part in a range of extra-curricular PE activities at lunchtimes and after school throughout the academic year. There are a number of opportunities to take part in local intra school fixtures, festivals and competitions. The school works closely with the Stowmarket School Games Organiser.

Through our engaging and enjoyable PE provision, we want our pupils to become physically active for continued periods of time, take part in competitive sports and activities, lead healthy, active lives and develop competence in a broad range of physical activities.

PE Premium Funding

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

According to guidance from the DfE, funding can be used to:

Schools should use the premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators.

Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, for example by:

• providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
• encouraging active play during break times and lunchtimes
• establishing, extending or funding attendance of school sport clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered
• adopting an active mile initiative
• raising attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2. Every child should leave primary school able to swim

This is a very exciting time in terms of funding in PE and Sport for pupils. We aim to use the funding at Cedars Park to develop the range of opportunities for our pupils and increase the participation levels in extra- curricular sport.  We are determined to find each child's niche to ensure they make the correct healthy lifestyle choices and have a love and enjoyment of PE and Sport. There are other aims and targets the school is focusing on to use the funding effectively so that there is a lasting legacy for every pupil.
