PE & Sport

Purpose of PE and Sport Premium:

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport. The funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of sport provision. Funding has been allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase children from 1st September 2013. The funding arrangements for 2018-2019 are broadly similar to that of 2017-18.  Raeburn Primary School has been allocated £19, 610 for the year 2019-2020.

School Games:         

The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. We are proud to have been awarded the ‘Gold’ mark, the highest accolade, for the 2018/19 academic year. We are working hard to ensure we receive another Gold award for 2019-2020!

Swimming Data:

2018/19

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres = 91%
• Use a range of strokes effectively = 73%
• Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations = 73%
• Overall % achieved NC standard for swimming = 91%

At Raeburn, swimming is taught in 2 week blocks to children in Years 3, 4 and 5. We also use our PE Premium to provide additional top-up swimming lessons to pupils who have not been able to meet the 3 national curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety – after the delivery of core swimming and water safety lessons.

Children are working towards the following awards.

PE Kit:

For the health and safety of all, please can you ensure that your child is correctly prepared for P.E. lessons.

• Long hair needs to be tied back (boys and girls). It is suggested that they keep spare bobbles in their kit bag, as school can only provide them with an elastic band.
• Jewellery and watches should not be worn. Necklaces, friendship bracelets and earrings need to be removed. In the case of studs that cannot be removed, please provide Micropore tape or similar to cover them.
• Fitbits, or any fitness tracker watches, must also be removed for PE lessons.
• Girls will be expected to remove tights for P.E. and Games lessons. They should keep a few pairs of socks in their kit bag if required.
• For indoor PE, children are asked to wear navy shorts, a white t-shirt and pumps (or bare feet). For outdoor PE, children can wear dark tracksuit bottoms and trainers.

Although children have specific PE days, children are expected to have their kit (indoor and outdoor) in school every day. Kits will be sent home at the end of each half term, so that they can be washed and brought back in for the new term.

Extra-Curricular Activities:

Before, during and after school club timetables will be uploaded here each term. Letters will be sent out by the teacher in charge of each activity. Copies of letters will also be kept in the School Office.
