Cranford Park Academy School PE and Sports Grant

Transcription

1 1 Cranford Park Academy School PE and Sports Grant Following the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games the Government has provided funding for schools to secure a significant and lasting legacy for the children. The aim is to develop an enjoyment of sport and physical activity, and to promote a healthy lifestyle in children from an early age. During the academic year Cranford Park Academy should receive approximately 25,000 to spend on sport. The money is ring-fenced and must be spent on sport and PE. It is up to each individual school to decide how this money is to be spent. At Cranford Park Academy we have decided to continue our focus on specialist sports provision and additional opportunities for swimming and extracurricular activities. This is to ensure that the children get the best quality PE lessons and staff get a rolling program of professional development. We have developed an integrated development program for teachers involving observations and team teaching. As well as our own in-school sports coach we have also employed regular cricket, netball and basketball coaches who provide PE lessons and after school clubs. As a result of this all children from Year 1 to Year 6 will benefit from specialist curriculum support and approximately 80 children (15 girl s football, 15 cricket, 20 basketball, 15 tag rugby and 15 netball) will benefit from weekly sports clubs in addition to the 110 who have after school clubs with our own sports coach. In 2014, we increased opportunities for curriculum swimming. In addition to our Year 5 swimming lessons all of Year 4 now attend a series of weekly sessions. In total 240 children are now accessing regular swimming through school. This additional opportunity has already impacted on the children (2 nd in the Hillingdon swimming gala 2016, 2 nd in 2017). The swimming teachers have been delighted with the higher standard of swimming demonstrated by the Year 5 children swimming this year as a result of the additional lessons in Year 4 the children received last academic year. We will also repeat last year s successful venture to enable our top swimmers of approximately 30 children to attend training and team practice sessions at a local pool, prior to their swimming gala. We continue to take part in a very wide range of tournaments and competitive sports events this year. We participate in events such as the football and netball leagues, sports hall athletics, mini tennis, district sports, quad kids athletics, girl s football tournament, basketball, hockey, cricket (boys and girls) and cross country. Although most of the funding will be spent on specialist teachers (netball, cricket, mini squash and basketball) and swimming we are also planning to spend some of the grant on upgrading equipment and buying new resources to complement the improvements we are going to make to the playground markings this year. Finally as part of the Park Federation, we continue to offer a programme of additional special sporting events for children including football (boys and girls), netball (girls), dodgeball (mixed), cross country (boys and girls) and cricket tournaments (boys and girls). This year, we are adding basketball (mixed) and mini tennis (mixed) as well as a Year 1& 2 multi-sports afternoon. In addition to all of this, a highly successful Athletics event at the Thames Valley Stadium rounds off the school sporting year perfectly. Some of the funding has been used to enable these events to happen and will mean that approximately 200 talented children will get to compete in high quality competitions against teams from the other Park Federation academies. At Cranford Park we are proud of our wide range of after school sports clubs and high quality PE lessons with specialist teachers. We also have a very busy calendar of sports events and well-resourced lessons and activities. The photo section of our website will give a flavour of the sporting year as it unfolds.
