Impact of the Spend The MUGA – biggest spend Pupil Questionnaire – What does it reveal?   95% of children asked have used it during PE lessons 80% have used it at lunch times 58% of children asked think the MUGA has made the playground a better place 28% of children are not sure if it has helped or not, reasons mainly revolving around misbehaviour they have seen in or as a result of the MUGA. Staff Questionnaire Lunch staff had concerns initially that the physical structure was increasing accidents due to children bumping into it etc. (Haven’t checked accident logs to verify this) Lunch staff feel there is better containment of ball games and more space for other things although not necessary being utilised effectively at present. Teachers asked spoke positively about the impact on PE lessons apart from space when using the whole class – need to split the group, lack of staffing to supervise two areas.

Difficulties in spending All children progressed. Significant confidence builder for vulnerable children. ‘I want to do more swimming because I want to learn to swim’ (Pupil questionnaire) Use of money to allow Y5 children to revisit was worth doing with all making progress though still not all swimming 25m. Assessments are with class teachers.   Course oversubscribed Practicality of forest schools provision in terms of staffing. MUGA costs shared with ‘Friends’ Swimming SWIMMING Difficulties in spending

Spending of Extra Monies For this year it has been decided to spend much of the excess money in enhancing the sports provision, whilst not sustainable will give purpose. Basketball club for second half term Climbing wall for whole school Cricket for KS1 (ended up being free) Karate for whole school (ended up being free) Possible golf for Y6 and KS1

Pupil Questionnaire – what else does it reveal? 86% of the children question think positively about their PE lessons with only 4% disliking PE. 79% of children questioned had attended an after school sports club (-for next term monitor PP children and create a target group to work on) After school sports clubs included Summer Sports, Adventure Club, Running Club, Football, KS1 dance, KS2 dance. Comments included ‘it got you active after school’ ‘active sports and a lot of fun’, ‘really outdoorsy’, ‘I learned new things like how to make a den’   58% of children had taken part in a school competition. Noticed this was primarily Y5/6 so for this year have already focussed more on lower school – Y3/4 cricket, Y1/2 Quad kids, Y3/4 tennis. (Again target group of children needs creating to boost engagement) ‘it made me feel proud’, ‘excited’, ‘nervous’, ‘scared but excited because I was representing my school even if we lost’, ‘nervous at first but once we started really energetic because I really enjoyed them’. Enhancement Sports 100% positive response to these – ‘we got to try new things we wouldn’t normally do’, ‘because I learned to swim’, amazing opportunity’.

2017 – 2018 Focus – Healthy Living Healthy Schools Day showed knowledge is there but putting it into practise isn’t so . . . September – No snacks to be brought in from home – all children will be given fruit at play time Fruit and Veg is currently supplied for 80 children (8 bags). To cover the whole school - not Amber - they would recommend supplying an extra 7 packs. (£1.25 each) – costings still being finalised. Target groups of children to engage in extra curricular activities – lists provided by class teachers as to vulnerable children and then provision to suit their needs. Monitoring of out of school activities to see if increased take up as a result of enhancements. Budget will increase To take the subject forward requires more dedicated time and expertise PE leaders course – hoping to fulfil this time to help focus resources and accountability. Dedicated member of staff for 1 day a week to enable focus on enhancing some PE lessons but primarily to target vulnerable children in activity groups, to ensure resources are stocked as necessary, to ensure curriculum coverage and progression. 2017 – 2018 Focus – Healthy Living

And finally, a snapshot of PE in Thornton Dale over the last year and all it has been, from PE lessons, to extra curricular clubs, to enhancements. . .
