PE and Sport Premium
The government provides extra funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England – The Primary PE & Sport Premium.
The four objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:
- To improve the quality of existing PE teaching through continuing professional learning in PE for generalists, so that all primary pupils improve their health, skills and physical literacy, and have broader exposure to a range of sports
- To increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils, and maintain these into adolescence
- To increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport, and to promote PE specialisation in primary level workforce
- Schools understand and value the benefits of high quality PE and sport, including its use as a tool for whole school improvement

| Key Indicator | Intent | Implementation | Funding | Evidence of Impact | Sustainability & Next Steps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| KI1 - Increase confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport (1%) | To ensure the safety of children when participating in PE, sports and physical activity in our school and on sports enrichment events. | Increase the number of lead and supporting adults who have appropriate first aid training | £1,080 | As schools are responsible for their own first aid at Borough sporting events - increasing the number of staff with appropriate first aid training ensures that we can continue to support attendance to sporting opportunities across all year groups | The school support team will monitor validity of first aid training on an annual basis to ensure that staff accreditation remains in date. Opportunities will be provided for new staff to become accredited in pediatric first aid. |

PE coaches deliver a short sequence of PE lessons that develop children's ability to use the playground equipment in fun, safe and creative ways. | £3,420 | Pupils will be more physically active during break times, breakfast club and stay and play. Pupils will develop skills to creatively engage in physical activity using a variety of resources.

These clubs were a mix of termly clubs where parents signed their child up, staff directed clubs or individual training sessions in preparation for the events. | £10,592 | Pupils will be encouraged and have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities, promoting a healthier and more active student body. Through targeted skill development, students not only enhance their physical capabilities but also cultivate valuable attributes such as teamwork, communication, and perseverance. This approach instills a lasting appreciation for fitness, potentially leading to sustained habits of physical activity well beyond their school years. | Recruit volunteers from the community, including the PTA and local sports enthusiasts, to assist with coaching, organising events, and supervising activities. Implement a reasonable fee structure for termly clubs to help cover the costs of coaching, equipment, and facilities. Offer financial assistance to ensure that all children have access to the clubs regardless of their financial situation.

| KI3 - The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement (55%) | To ensure we have a number of end of year sporting events, where children can showcase their developing athletic skills, as well as fostering House and School pride via sporting achievements. | Sports Day 2024/2025. Intra Year Group end of year competitions in Dodgeball and Striking and Fielding. | £9,600 | These events offer students the opportunity to showcase their hard work and dedication, boosting their confidence and self-esteem. Additionally, the spirit of competition encourages camaraderie among peers and strengthens the bonds within the school community. As students participate in these events and witness the achievements of their peers, they develop a deeper connection to their House and School, fostering a positive school culture centered around sportsmanship, teamwork, and achievement. | Sporting calendar for the year promoted within school on PE and School Sport notice board. Stickers, certificates, medals and trophies as awards for the various activities and competitions. |

Through their expertise, pupils receive high-quality instruction, leading to the development of fundamental skills, enhanced confidence, and improved physical well-being. By instilling a passion for physical activity and healthy living, specialist PE coaches contribute to the long-term health and wellness of pupils, laying the foundation for lifelong habits of fitness and well-being. | Secure long-term funding for employing sports specialists through a combination of school budgets, grants, and community partnerships. Establish clear budget plans that allocate resources for their salaries and professional development. Ensure that sports specialists align their activities with the school curriculum to maximize their impact on students' physical education and overall development.

| KI4 - Broader experience of a range of sports and physical activities offered to all pupils (6%) | To ensure as many of our children leave KS2 as competent and confident swimmers. | Catch up swimming sessions for a select amount of Year 6 pupils | £5,450 | These sessions provide targeted instruction and reinforcement of swimming skills, addressing any gaps in proficiency that may exist among the pupils. By focusing on specific areas of improvement, such as stroke technique, breathing, and water confidence, these sessions help pupils build the necessary skills and confidence to become proficient swimmers. Moreover, the smaller group size allows for more individualized attention and feedback from instructors, facilitating faster progress and skill acquisition. As a result, participating pupils are more likely to develop a strong foundation in swimming, enabling them to feel confident and competent in the water, which is essential for their safety and enjoyment of aquatic activities both now and in the future. | Annual questionnaire used to gauge swimming proficiency within our Year 6 cohort. Data to be used to target non swimmers and provide opportunities for catch up swimming sessions. |

Participation in partnership-led events, competitions, and festivals fosters teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership skills among pupils, enhancing their overall personal and social development. The collaborative nature of the partnership facilitates the sharing of best practices, resources, and expertise among schools and educators, ensuring high-quality physical education and sports provision across the board. | Take advantage of the full range of benefits and resources offered through the partnership, such as access to training, sports equipment, and competitive events. Utilise these resources to enhance the quality and variety of sports opportunities available to students. Promote the benefits of the partnership for students and the school, through various channels, including newsletters, notice boards and social media.

At Saracens Broadfields we believe high quality PE and sport provision are essential therefore we intend to use the PE Premium in the following ways:
- Saracens Broadfields is part of the Barnet Schools Sports Partnership which allows us to participate in competitions, festivals and coaching opportunities across a wide range of sports. See link for up and coming events:
http://www.barnetpartnershipforschoolsport.co.uk/
- At Saracens Broadfields we recognise the importance of breaktime and lunchtime activities in supporting the development of healthy active lifestyles. We have therefore increased the range of equipment available during these times and made a commitment to training staff so that we can offer our pupils fun and exciting opportunities to engage in physical activity during the school day.
