Sports Grant

2018/19 Allocation and Priorities...

This academic year we have been allocated £7,634 with an additional carry forward from last year. This has allowed us to prioritise the following developments.

Provide students with the opportunity to access swimming lessons throughout the year.
Develop resources in the playground so that students are more physically active in their play.
Develop students opportunities to access external coaches for netball and football.
Develop our PE resources so that all students are able to participate and develop their coordination, balance and physical health.

Swimming Competency...

The focus in our school is develop our students confidence and proficiency given that most of our students have high anxiety around water. We focus on strokes that keep them safe rather than developing a range of strokes. We currently do not have any students who are at the stage to progress onto self rescue techniques in the water, however we work with parents to encourage them to expose their children to swimming lessons out of school.
