Wiggonby School Sports Funding

2024-25

Our Aim

We aim to create a happy, stimulating environment where all children are provided with opportunities, to plan, participate in and evaluate their physical education.

This will enable Wiggonby C of E Primary School to promote a lifelong love of sport and physical activity.

Our Values

We believe that PE in a safe and supportive environment, is vital to a child’s physical and emotional well-being and development. A high quality, PE programme ensures that children’s needs are at the forefront whilst encouraging them to realise the importance of an active and healthy lifestyle.

Our Objectives

We aim to do this by promoting a life-long love of sport and physical activity through the following objectives:

• Thorough application of the PE Programmes of Study, utilising expert coaching wherever possible
• On-going high quality CPD for all staff
• A range of physical activities during playtimes as well as upgrading the playground
• Introduce 'A Mile a Day' Challenge at lunch times for KS2 children
• A variety of after school clubs to target all interests and abilities, including Change4Life
• Providing links to community sports clubs
• A commitment to working towards the School Games Gold Kitemark annually

As children move through primary school, they must develop their physical and cognitive skills in order to lead and develop sport later on in life. This can be aided by providing numerous sporting events to not only ignite interest but keep that interest alive.

In order to do this we have committed our 2024-2025 Sports Funding of £16,000 to the following:

1. Providing swimming lessons for Year 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 pupils - £3,000
2. Providing expert sports coaching & on-going CPD for the year across KS1 & KS2 - £2,000
3. Providing curriculum time coaching for Reception, Y1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 -  £5,000
4. Buying into a local competition calendar - £600
5. Updating & maintaining PE/games equipment - £700 
6. Updating playtime equipment - £1000 
7. Transport to sporting events - £1,000

In 2024-2025 we also aim to:

1. Develop the KS2 playground to promote physical activity further during breaks - £4,000
2. Continue to support the mental health & wellbeing of our pupils.

We have also established the following to raise the profile of sport across the school:

• Developed an Intra-school competition calendar
