Approximately  £1555 has been spent on staffing lunchtime sports clubs with an experienced sports coach from Active 8.

Approximately £3015 (520+645+105+138+12+225+775++53+62+480) has been spent on perishable equipment.

Pupils have engaged with sports clubs. The clubs have been well attended by pupils across school (cricket, KS1 football, KS2 football, rounders, dance, multiskills). Pupils have said that they enjoy the clubs and have fun.

Balancability and Bikeability training mean that pupils have the skills to cycle in our local area. 

COVID 19 has impacted on the opportunities to develop the playleader role across school and this will be a priority in 2021 2022. 

Provide development opportunities for staff so that high quality teaching is prevalent throughout school by:

  • using the skills of a member of staff (who is also a dance teacher) to provide staff CPD.
  • staff continuing to work alongside a specialist PE teacher to develop their PE skills and delivery of PE lessons, although some staff who have benefited from training in the past are now planning and delivering PE lessons themselves.

 

Expected Cost of specialist PE teacher to deliver  guidance £3500 (this did not happen due to the COVID pandemic and so will be a priority next year)

Approximately £200 will be spent on developing the provision and equipment needed to support teaching of high quality PE. 

Total expenditure - £200

Sustainability will be secured by  teachers working alongside specialised PE teachers and coaches and improving their own skills. Dance and fitness activities through clubs and lessons have encouraged pupils to become active after the periods of school closure. The class has often been full and a parent/child class has taken place after school, as a result of the enthusiasm for this club. ? pupils took part in this club who had not accessed a sports club previously in school. 

Enter sports competitions, festivals and events so that an interest in sport is developed by pupils

 

 

 

It is planned for teachers to coach children  in the future to enter competitions, festivals and other events.

Although competition opportunities were significantly hampered by the COVID pandemic, our pupils competed in several competitions and performed well. 

Y5/6 pupils and Y3/4 pupils won the sports partnership cricket competitions, summer 2021

Y5/6 pupils won and Y3/4 pupils were 4th in the sports partnership football competition, summer 2021

Y4 took part in inter school sports competition during School Sports Week at Leeds Road Playing Fields, summer 2021

A whole school, intra school sports competition day took place on July 8th. All pupils competed. 

Successful outcomes for all pupils (including vulnerable groups, most able, those in receipt of pupil premium and those who are at risk because they follow a sedentary lifestyle) will be pursued by:

 

  • continuing to be a member of the Pennine Sports Partnership which provides a wealth of targeted activities, competitions and festivals including those for SEN and most able pupils.
  • all pupils (including all SEN and children from vulnerable groups)  participating in at least one sports competition this academic year.
  • providing opportunities for pupils to develop relationships with sporting role models

 

Pennine Sports Partnership cost is  £1171 this academic year

 

£500 has been spent to pay for a specialist sports coach  to support class teachers to prepare pupils to enter competitions.

 

£2976 has been spent on RLFC package to ensure that pupils have access to high quality training in this sport and that staff benefit from the CPD that this opportunity will allow.  

Total expenditure - £4647

Sustainability has been secured through all KS2  pupils being exposed to sport competition - experiences that will allow them to enjoy and participate in  this type of activity for life.

Staff will develop their skills through CPD and use them to offer learning opportunities to pupils in the future

The RLFC package has not been deliverable due to the COVID pandemic this year and so will roll over o next year (2021 2022)

To ensure that KS2 children meet the minimum standard in swimming. All pupils in Year 4 will attend swimming lessons during curriculum time. Y5 pupils who have not yet met KS2 standards will attend swimming lessons after Christmas. Any pupil not achieving the expected standard will be offered additional lessons. 

 

Target 90% (an increase of 18% on 2018 data) of pupils to leave our school at the expected standards for KS2 swimming regarding distance, using a range of strokes and being able to perform safe self rescue in water based situations. See below for a more detailed breakdown provided by swimming staff. Pupils will be safe near water and will be able to enjoy this activity as an adult should they so wish.

It is anticipated that additional swimming lessons will cost approximately £1000 to allow pupils to meet the expected standard COVID restrictions have meant that pupils at Linthwaite Ardron have not been able to access swimming this year. 

 

 Staff attend training courses and network meetings to develop knowledge and skills.

 

Expected costs £1000. actual cost £350

 

COVID restrictions have meant that staff have not been able to access training, attend courses and network meetings as were planned. JT has attended 'Safe Practice In PE and School Sport' training with Gill Hood (LA advisor) 

* The COVID pandemic has significantly impacted upon the ability for school to deliver all the planned initiatives. For example, school has not been able to access as many external training opportunities or welcome sporting visitors into school because this has been against government guidance. For this reason, some initiatives will be delivered in the academic year 2021 2022 - E.g. RLFC coaching & staff development - which will be funded in 2021 2022 by monies carried forward  from 2020 2021.

The Pennine School Partnership has been instrumental in providing good quality support and advice that has led to pupils being supported in the best way possible (e.g. GD and SEN pupil workshops, CPD for the PE lead)
