PE Premium

St. Winifred’s PE and Sports Grant

The purpose of this grant is to improve the provision of PE and sport so that all pupils develop positive active attitudes and healthy lifestyles. The grant is £19, 090 for our school.

Sports and physical development are a very high priority at this school and we recognise the importance of this area to well-being, confidence, self-esteem and health. We are very proud of our achievements in all areas of sport. Funding provided by Sports Premium has a significant impact on all our pupils.

How are we spending the money?

St. Winifred’s has used this grant to support our OPAL play provision throughout the school ensuring that all children benefit from the funding and have access to high quality play times and lunchtimes with lots of opportunities for physical activities. We believe this is the best possible use of this funding for our school community as it ensures every child has the opportunity to take part in physical activities every day.

What does PE Delivery at St. Winifred’s look like?

The Curriculum

The Curriculum at St. Winifred’s is broad, challenging and fun! Pupils play volleyball, tri-ball, and diamond football as well as traditional sports. We ensure that pupils have at least two hours of PE a week.

Our Early Years pupils have a beautiful outdoor area, which has a fixed climbing area. This has been chosen to develop a wide range of skills. The children also have access to larger areas such as the MUGA for a range of physical activities and playground areas for cycling.

Facilities & Equipment

We have a very well-equipped PE resource area and this is regularly stocked as equipment wears out. Playtime and lunchtime equipment is also available for all children to ensure all are active and engaged. We have a beautiful MUGA and a range of astro turfed areas around the school. This year we had to purchase a large amount of extra equipment to ensure there are plenty of resources available.

Lunchtime Provision

Staff run PE and sporting activities with the children every lunchtime, giving every child a chance to practise skills and compete with each other regularly in a safe and controlled zone of the playground.

Outward bound and adventure

The Year 6 children went on their residential school journey. This provided them with many opportunities to participate in physical activities such as high/low ropes, orienteering and swimming.

Extra-Curricular provision

We offer a broad range of before and after school sports clubs every day of the week.
