P.E Sports Funding

Our partnership with LINKS is assisted by the School Sport Coordinators (Faye Ruddleston) who is based at Stocksbridge High School.

LINKS aims are:

Strategic Planning: To develop and implement a PE and school sport strategy, as part of school development plans, through working in partnership with key strategic organisations and providers in the area.

Primary Liaison: to improve PE and school sport programmes by establishing and developing links within and between families of schools (particularly around the KS2/3 interface).

Out of School Hours: to provide new and enhanced out of schools hours opportunities for all young people in the partnership, including out of school hours learning, non-competitive participation and competition.

School to Community: to increase all young people's participation in community sport through creating and strengthening links with sports clubs, leisure facilities and community providers.

Coaching and Leadership: to provide training, support and deployment opportunities in leadership, coaching and officiating for senior pupils, adults other than teachers (AOTTs) and teachers.

Raising Standards: to raise standards of pupil's achievement in all aspects of their school life, through increased participation and improved performance, motivation and attitudes. The funding has allowed us to bring in specialist expertise which enhances opportunity for all children but also increases the knowledge and skills of the staff as they assist in the lessons. The funding has increased opportunity for inter school competition. Children who receive Pupil Premium will also be targeted for the extra-curricular opportunities/clubs.

Please find attached documents showing full breakdown of how school has spent its' PE Funding over the last two years and the effect of the premium on children's PE participation and attainment.
