PE & Sports Premium

Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 per year plus an additional £10 per eligible pupil. Bedgrove Junior School will receive £20,800 in the academic year of 2022/23.

As outlined by The Department of Education the Primary PE and Sport Funding must be used to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that our school already offers
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity - the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• increased participation in competitive sport

Swimming

All of our children in Year 5 attend swimming lessons every Friday afternoon (on hold due to COVID19) at the Gutmann Swimming Pool. The children attend for half a year and work towards the required competencies.  When children have not achieved the required competencies we fund extra small group or one to one sessions in the last week of the summer term each year.

Children who can swim 25m:

Before swimming lessons 30 children could swim 25m = 25% of cohort

After swimming lessons 93 children could swim 25m = 78% of cohort

After 1 to 1 booster sessions an additional 11 children could swim 25m = 87% of cohort

Range of strokes:

Children from Level 3 upwards who could display a range of strokes - 82 children = 68%

Self - Rescue

100% of children attended the water safety and rescue talk and were able to answer 3 questions about it.

100% of children were able to complete a 'personal survival scenario' where they shout and wave for help, wear clothes in the pool (standing) and remove an item of clothing. Also throw a buoyant aid to a partner at least 5m from the side.

100% of children could perform a reach rescue (throw a soft aid (woggle or clothing) to a partner and tow the partner to the side.

88% of children could secure a partner at the side of the pool and call for help.
