PE and Sports Development

Physical activity, Physical Education and Sport

Physical activity is at the heart of our culture and ethos across all GLA schools. We are committed to ‘Creating Active Schools’, as we are passionate about physical activity and recognise the positive impact that it has on children’s lives and well-being, physically and mentally.

Physical Education is more than just teaching a PE curriculum; we promote physical activity to nurture individual characters, build self-esteem, problem solve, provide challenge, support positive mental health and wellbeing, as well as teaching skills and knowledge that will help all children succeed in the next stages of their education.

As a GLA school, we offer:

• A Physical Education curriculum which is broad, balanced and opportunity rich, providing equality for all children. Our organised and engaging curriculum helps children develop confidence and a sense of achievement.
• A wealth of enrichment activities, sporting clubs and competitive events to suit the dynamics of our school and needs of our children. As well as increasing access to wider opportunities, we hope that children will appreciate teamwork, experience new opportunities and promote leading a healthy, active lifestyle outside of school.
• A strong network of GLA PE leaders and a PE Trust lead, who work collaboratively to share best practice, organise trust events, ensure up to date research is sustaining high quality PE provision and monitor the use and impact of the Sports Premium. Our PE leaders regularly attend professional development workshops to stay informed about the latest trends and techniques in physical education.
• Professional Partnerships with external sporting organisations and charities, such as Move More, Gloucester School Sports Network and Atlas Camps to enrich the trust’s PE offer. These partnerships have enabled us to offer specialised coaching in sports like gymnastics and tennis, which have been highly popular among our children.

Sports Funding

Overview of PE Primary Sports Funding

As part of the Olympics 20122 Legacy, the government has provided additional funding in order to improve the quality of provision of physical education and sport in primary schools to improve the quality of sports and PE for all their children. Funding for schools is calculated by reference to the number of primary-aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11), as recorded in the annual schools census in January.

Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools and will be used so that all children have equal benefit regardless of their sporting ability.

All GLA schools closely monitor the provision, spending, implementation and impact of the funding to ensure this additional funding provides maximum impact so children are inspired to be physically active for life.

Our Principles

At CVIS we are passionate about sports and recognise the importance that physical activity has on children’s lives, tying in with our school vision of developing safe, healthy bodies. We believe that a well organised and engaging sports curriculum helps children develop confidence, resilience and a sense of achievement. Young children are taught how to rise to a challenge, as well as nurturing the characteristics and skills that will help them get on and succeed in life.

We aim to provide a positive and engaging experience in sport and physical education at our school. The School Sport Premium will ensure that children are physically active and excited about ‘sport’. As well as increasing fitness, we hope that children will appreciate team work and develop a healthy lifestyle, developing the foundations for children to be physically active for life.

Through our sports premium funding, we work with The Gloucester School Sports Network and Move More. Their aims are to increase opportunities, grow participation and improve standards in sport at school.
