How are we using the funding and what impact is it having?

See below for the ways in which our Primary P.E. and School Sport funding has been used at Eldersfield Lawn.

• Specialist, professional sports coaches deliver P.E. teaching for cricket, rugby, rounders, netball and athletics.
• A range of subsidised sporting events and competitions enable children to participate with other local schools.
• P. E. and Sports Annual Partnership work with a local secondary school to increase the range of sporting opportunities for children to take part in. This also develops and nurtures P.E. knowledge and skills application for pupils.
• Forest School opportunities for children in the Early Years and in Key Stage 1 pupils to increase exercise in addition to class P. E. lessons.  
• CPD for staff to further enhance P.E. knowledge through a curriculum development review and to effectively support the development of P.E. as a subject.
• The introduction to new sporting opportunities for children to take part in, both through local events with other schools and through our extended range of after-school activity clubs. These now include Martial Arts and Dance classes.
• Supporting Primitive Reflexes to develop coordination, balance and movement and to increase exercise opportunities on a regular basis.

Our plans for P. E. and Sports during 2025-2026 included:

1. Improvements and enhancements to the outdoor play areas to engage all children in more daily physical activity.

2. Continuing to provide an extensive range of sporting opportunities which are offered to children through competitive events, extra-curricular and enrichment activities.

3. Reviewing the impact of our whole school P.E. planning and progression to build on pupils' previous skills. 

4. Continuing to provide regular and new sports participation with other schools, including opportunities for children in key stage 1.

We are delighted to have successfully achieved all of these planned outcomes for 2025-2026 and have received the 'School Games Gold Award for the wide range of pupil participation in competitive sports in July 2026.
