Chew Magna Primary School

At Chew Magna Primary School, we continue to develop our Physical Education programme and, with the support of Government funding, we have the capacity to do so. We endeavour to give our children opportunities to experience different sporting challenges as they move through the school, and to develop their talents in appropriate competitive formats.

 

The Government’s commitment to provide new funding for Primary PE and Sport means that we can now look to further develop and enhance the experience of our children in this area.  From the academic year 2017-18, the funding entitles our school to £16,000, plus an additional £10 per pupil aged 5 or over (at the time of the census in the January of each academic year.) This means that we will receive £16,930 to further develop PE and sport in our school.

 Our rationale for the use of Sports Premium funding is that it must be used so that: all children benefit regardless of sporting ability; children are given the opportunity to compete in tournaments with other schools; staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development including working with specialist teachers/qualified sports coaches; subsidising some activities so that pupils do not miss out due to financial constraints.

 In terms of our P.E offer, each class has 2 P.E sessions a week. Our Sports Coach teaches every class weekly. Over a year Sparrowhawk, Buzzard and Golden Eagle Classes cover the following units:


 Buzzard class has 10  weeks of swimming sessions in a year at Midsomer Norton Leisure Centre and work towards meeting the end of Key Stage 2 swimming requirements of being able to:

  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
  • use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

100% pupils meet these requirements by the end of Y6.

Across a school year, children participate in a range of sporting tournaments and festivals based at Chew Valley School, with other local primary schools and where possible we invite external sports coaches in to provide sessions for classes.

We also provide a range of extra-curricular sporting clubs for children to participate in.
