Primary School Sports Funding 2019/20
By Brook Valley Primary School Sports Funding Allocation for 2019/20 was £17,930. This had to be spent on improving the provision of PE and sports within schools but Headteachers have the freedom to choose how they do this.
The focus for this year was to build on the success of previous year’s mentoring and CPD, to continue to encourage our children to develop a sustained interest in sport, physical exercise and healthy living, and to continue to enhance general PE provision. The PE mentoring focussed on improving teacher subject knowledge and skills in teaching a variety of sports developing children’s confidence and skills in these areas. Additionally, we attended competitive festivals giving children the opportunity to compete against other schools and develop their love for sports, as well as introducing intra-competition sessions in school to allow the development of positive competition. A lunch time club was also introduced to enhance the skills and interest to encourage an interest in physical activity and the personal skills that are used in sport.
Due to Covid-19 and school closures, the whole budget was not able to be spent for the whole academic year. Due to this we are able to carry over the remaining funding from this year over to the next academic year.
For 2019/20, we allocated the funding as follows:
