PE & Sport

Purpose of PE and Sport Premium:

The Department for Education confirmed that the additional funding to improve the provision of PE and Sport in schools will continue, at £320 million for the 2020/21 academic year.  Raeburn Primary School has been allocated £19,590.00 for the year 2021-2022. We also have £16,127.00 to carry forward from the 2020-21 academic year that could not be used mainly due to uncertainty caused by Covid-19. This brings our total amount for the year to £35,717.00

Swimming:

Most recent swimming Data:

• 2019/20

  • Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres = 92%
  • Use a range of strokes effectively = 89%
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations = 91%
  • Overall % achieved NC standard for swimming = 89%

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. 

• AUTUMN TERM: w/b 20th & 27th September 2021
• SPRING TERM: w/31st January & 7th February 2022
• SUMMER TERM: w/b 20th & 27th June 2022

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.

Starting in September 2020, and until further notice, children will be expected to come into school in their PE kits on their PE days, therefore please take a note of your child’s PE days.

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.
