The government initiative to enhance PE provision throughout schools means we receive approximately £8000 a year for the next two years. The purpose of the funding is to up skill teachers so that following the two year initiative all staff will be able to deliver high quality PE confidently across a range of activities. As a cluster of schools we have entered into a contract with the local authority who has tailored a package of support to our requirements. Over the next two years we have regular twilight CPD (continuous professional development) sessions covering various sports/activities and targeted at different phases (i.e. Early Years Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2). In addition the CPD will be followed up by in-school support from specialist coaches. The coaches will work alongside our teachers to further develop their skills and help them put the training into practice. At the end of each half term a festival will be held to enable competition between schools (e.g. Tag Rugby, Netball etc.) or celebration of achievement (e.g. dance, gymnastics). The festivals will act as gateways to clubs so that interests/ talents can be followed outside school and to higher levels.

A summary of our plan for PE development from 2013 – 2015 is shown below:
