SPORTS AT LOWER KERSAL
School provides a range of sporting/activity clubs throughout the year including multi-sports clubs, martial arts, kick boxing, athletics, Football and dance classes such as Bollywood dancing and cheerleading. All sports clubs are offered for free. School works as part of an Education Improvement Partnership to offer inter-school sporting events including football tournaments, swimming galas and rugby matches. School has recently purchased a second minibus to enable children to attend other tournaments/events. The importance of sport is recognised in our termly Prize Days where children from every class (inc Nursery) are rewarded with a trophy for their sporting achievements.
Each year school holds special PE/Fitness days, including for example Skipping Days and Football Days, promotes Walk to School Week and invests in a week-long visit from the Life Education Classroom. Termly WILD Wednesdays enhance sports opportunities in school by offering pupils the chance to take part in sports not normally offered on the curriculum (eg Capoeira, Zumba).
School subscribes to the Salford swimming scheme and pays for two year groups to go swimming each week. This ensures that all pupils are able to swim one length before their swimming sessions end as classes attend swimming lessons for two consecutive years. School further uses its budget to pay for a PE kit for every child on roll, ensuring that children are ready to take part in all physical activity lessons.
School has extended its links with Salford Sports Village to provide children with PE sessions within the Centre as part of their existing trips down to the Library. Pupils now spend one session in the Library and one session in the sports hall/all weather pitch. This takes place each term.
Residential holidays at Prestatyn and Lledr Hall have a strong physical activity emphasis and school employs a qualified sports coach tp deliver/support PE lessons throughout all phases/key stages. Our sports coach works each morning with children in our EYFS to help develop their fine and gross motor skills and also to give them an early love of physical activity and movement which we hope they will keep for the rest of their lives. School further benefits from the employment of our sports coach by helping support and enhance the delivery of PE within school through the demonstration of moves, by increasing teacher knowledge and to further enhance lunchtime provision. Initially a large percentage of our Sports Premium Grant was used to employ our coach. Since 2015 there has been a year on year reduction in this contribution to ensure the sustainability of this work.

EVIDENCED OUTCOMES: Using our sports coach in EYFS school was able to create smaller learning groups within the Foundation Stage. This allowed for detailed assessment and observations to be made which meant that there was swift intervention for those children who had co-ordination or gross motor difficulties and intervention. Referrals and programmes of support led by the sports coach were put in place. Despite a drop in GLD levels for 2015-16, due to the targeted work of the sports coach there was an increase in the percentage of pupils reaching expected levels in the physical areas of learning: |

2015 EYFSP RESULTS
2016 EYFSP RESULTS

The increased profile of Sports in the school, along with easy access to transport and the increased range of sports on offer here resulted in the school winning our cluster's Sports League. In 2014 Lower Kersal came 7/8 in the league, in 2015 this had moved up to 6/8 in the league. In 2016 we became league champions! The Irwell EIP sports league involves children of all ages and focuses on a range of sporting activities. The use of after-school clubs and our sports coach meant that school was able to prepare for these events and train the pupils who were selected to represent the school at that sporting tournament. |
|
KEY PRIORITY THREE: Professional Development in PE |
||
|
STATEMENT OF INTENT: "Lower Kersal will use the skills of a qualified sports coach to help improve the provision of PE and Sports within the school and develop staff capabilities at delivering high quality PE lessons." |
EVIDENCED OUTCOMES: The sports coach works at lunchtimes alongside existing welfare staff. He demonstrates activities, encouraging them to run these independently - helping to build capacity and sustainability for furture years.
The sports coach works alongside existing teachers in the school, helping them develop their own skills at teaching PE. Learning observations showed a +25% increase in PE lessons being judged 'good or better' for 2015-16.
School pays into Salford's School Sports Partnership organisation to help develop our sports co-ordinator. Termly conferences help raise awareness of current PE intitiatives and enable the lead to liaise and network with other providers and schools. This information is then cascaded back to staff during special subject-led staff meetings. This helps maintain PE's high profile within the school and allows staff to access further support and training if requested. |
