Burnley Road Academy Primary Sports Funding

At Burnley Road Academy, we have developed an action plan to ensure that the money is spent on initiatives which will have a long lasting impact.

Swimming

All children in Ks2 spend one term swimming each year. This year 14 children achieved the National Curriculum standard. 

Summary of Impact of PE funding 

We received £18,400

Funds were spent on the PE Hub scheme of work which was used by staff in all classes. Staff say they feel the scheme has increased their confidence teaching PE. Lesson observations show children engage well and make good progress in these lessons.

All pupils at Burnley Road Academy received a well - balanced PE curriculum that promoted sporting excellence and that contributed well to their physical wellbeing and their social development. Pupils had access to a wide range of extra- curricular sports activities and were successful in a range of competitions and events e.g. netball, cross country, cricket, football and hockey. Pupils used a range of climbing equipment and games equipment at playtimes and a full range of equipment for each aspect of national curriculum PE.

The fund was spent on:

• A high quality PE scheme of work (PE Hub) for all teachers and staff to use and be trained up on. This helped us continue to provide a consistent and comprehensive approach to enable all our children make progress in their physical education lessons, knowledge and skills.
• A contribution to a joint PE co-ordinator for our cluster of schools who organised sports competitions and trained teachers, lunch supervisors and play leaders.
• A teaching assistant to organise/supervise sports competitions and extra curricular sports (one staff member for one hour 20 mins per week).
• Professional development for staff.
• Specialist PE teachers working alongside other school staff for 2 classes in KS2 for one lesson each a week.
• Twenty one extra swimming lessons.
• Twelve weeks of Forest Activity lessons for each class.
• A lunch time supervisor to lead games each day. 
• A specialist PE coach leading games at lunchtime once a week.
• Specialist sports/dance coaches leading sessions for each class e.g. Skip2Be Fit, Box2Be Fit sessions for each class every half term, a basketball coach and the Cricket Asylum.
