2021/22 St Leonard’s Church of England Sports Premium Funding

In 2021/22 St Leonard’s will receive £18,170. This has been spent in the following ways:

• Due to Covid-19 restrictions the number of opportunities for our children to be active and be in the outdoors has decreased. We have increased the amount of ways children can be active during the school day, particularly outside. Particular focus on provision in the EYFS stage.
• Raised the profile PESSPA across the school through sporting values. Each half term the children were given 2 character values (Self Belief, Determination, Respect, Honesty, Fair Play, Passion, Teamwork) to focus on in PE. Celebrate and reward children weekly through certificates.

We have ensured the new PE team is established and confident to deliver HQ lessons in all areas. New subject leaders have received appropriate training.

We have provided a wide and varied program focusing on enrichment based activities including experiences our children would not normally get access to.

We have re-established a large and varied competition offer for our children including Intra School (in house) competitions, returning to inter school events through the SSP, friendly fixtures, my personal best challenges , virtual competitions (SSP) and further opportunities to be competitive in the PE curriculum and breaks/lunchtimes.
