Background
In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport. This funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.
Funding will be allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase pupils, including: primary, middle, special and non-maintained special schools, academies and pupil referral units from 1 September 2013. A typical primary school will receive about £9,250 annually in the academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15.
Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of. Examples of how this funding might be spent are set out in annex A.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. We will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish on-line information about how we have used the additional funding.
Allocation
All schools with 17 or more primary-aged pupils will receive a lump sum of £8000 plus a premium of £5 per pupil.
PE and Sport at LAMPS
We have a strong PE and Sports curriculum here at LAMPS and recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We are committed to ensuring that all pupils receive at least 2 hours of high quality well-planned PE per week delivered by confident and well trained teachers. The successful delivery of the curriculum supports all aspects of health education within the school.
‘All pupils enjoy a wealth of extra-curricular activities in which sports and music are strong features. This has a strong impact on their outstanding personal development and on their exceptionally good understanding of how to lead healthy lifestyles.’ (Ofsted 2011)
We have established links with Dowdales School and the primary schools in the Furness Primary Collaborative (FPC). The school’s PE and Sports Leader liaises closely with Dowdales School, specialist coaches and other schools to organise sporting events and staff training.

Instil in pupils a love of sport and physical activity.

Pupils enjoy PE and participate enthusiastically. Pupils are active and enjoy a wide range of physical activity. Even those pupils who do not excel in this curriculum area, enjoy activities and participate eagerly. | |
| Increase pupil participation in competitions, interschool sport and events. |

Over 55% of pupils have represented the school in a sporting competition developing their understanding of sportsmanship and fair play. The school has represented Furness in gymnastics winning the overall competition at all 3 levels. Our Hockey team also won the Furness competition and will go on to represent the area in the county competition. Our Tennis team also performed very well in the Furness competition and represented the area in the county competition. | |
| Improve resources and equipment to support PE |

Improvements to resources have enabled better teaching in all aspects of PE. Pupils have a wider range of equipment and games to encourage and promote activity at break times. | |
Broaden the sporting experiences available to pupils.
|
|
|
More pupils attend clubs and activities outside of school. The children have applied their existing skills and developed skills in new sports. | |
| Employ PE instructors and coaches to work alongside staff to increase their knowledge and understanding in developing sporting skill in pupils. |

Almost all staff teach PE with support from SA reducing adult to pupil ratio. Teachers have increased confidence teaching specific skills for specific sports. There is an increased awareness of health and safety when teaching sports and PE. We have increased the extra curricular clubs available to pupils and also widened the variety of clubs. | |
