PE & Sports Funding

The government provides additional funding for primary schools to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport.

This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated to primary schools on an annual basis.

This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

At Bilton Community, we value the role of Physical Education in your child’s development. Our aim is to inspire a love of movement and a desire to be active.

Initially, our PE lessons focus on physical literacy; allowing children to understand their bodies, developing key skills such as coordination, balance and spatial awareness. This is furthered when children are encouraged to explore movement, tactics, self-expression within game situations.

We endeavour to give all children the opportunity to explore their various talents at school. This can be done in P.E. sessions, at our extra-curricular clubs, playing for the school team or with leadership opportunities.

The physical education that we provide is inclusive; giving all children the opportunity to improve regardless of their starting point.

Each class is allocated 2 hours of P.E. time every week. Additionally, we embrace the ethos of being an ‘Active School’. In line with the Chief Medical Officers Guidelines, this enables us to give children the opportunity to be active for at least 30 minutes a day.

Swimming

Our pupils participate in swimming lessons at South Holderness Secondary school.

This currently takes place during the Summer term of Year 4. Through this programme of lessons, children are assessed against the National Curriculum programme of study relating to swimming and water safety. Children not meeting the requirements at the end of Year 4, repeat swimming lessons in Year 5 and Year 6 if required.

Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

Schools will also be required to include details of their provision of PE and sport on their website, alongside details of their broader curriculum, so that parents can compare sports provision between schools, both within and beyond the school day.

Year 4 Swimming June 2023	Numbers Achieved Target	Percentage Achieved Target

Cycling

In addition to swimming, we also recognise that cycling is a valuable life skill for our children.

In Year 4 and 5, we use the ‘Bikeability’ programme which enables children to become road-worthy cyclists.
