PE and Sports Premium
At Milldene Primary School, we recognise the contribution of Physical Education (PE) to the health and well-being of our pupils. We believe that an innovative, varied and competitive PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all.
At Milldene Primary School, we use the PE and Sport Premium funding to ensure all pupils receive high quality PE lessons which promote a love of physical activity and improve pupils’ physical fitness.
PE provisions at Milldene Primary School that have been supported by the funding:
- Each class has 2 hours of PE per week taught by either the class teacher or visiting specialists
- PE is taught by specialist coaches who, alongside class teachers and the PE subject leader, ensure there is progression between year groups
- A variety of high quality and well maintained resources are provided for all pupils to fully engage in all lessons
- Key Stage 2 pupils have the opportunity to participate in inter school competitions
- Year 5 and Year 6 pupils have swimming lessons at a local swimming pool
The sports grant has allowed us to increase the children's participation in sport and enhance our staff's existing skills in teaching physical education.
