Academic Year 2015-16 We introduced the daily mile into the school day for all pupils. We invested in having a track marked onto the school field and introduced the staff to the concept and inducted them in how to implement it. As a result all children participated in some daily physical activity. We invested both in staff and equipment on order to provide pupils with structured physical activities at lunchtimes. Training was provided for the play leaders/midday supervisors and a range of equipment was purchased specifically to enhance the lunchtime experience. We invested in some display boards that exemplified the values associated with PE and Sport that are now displayed throughout the school. We continued to invest in a specialist PE teacher to team teach alongside the class teachers to upskill them to deliver high quality PE lessons We continued to increase the range of sports and activities available to pupils both before and after school and at lunchtimes by using some of the grant to fund additional qualified sports coaches to provide sessions to the pupils. We participated for the first time ever in some of the Luton wide school games L2 events giving more children the opportunity to compete for the school. This not only raised the profile of PE and sport within the school, but by purchase a school team kit developed a real sense of belonging and pride in the children to represent their school. We established a timetable for L1 competitions that provided all classes/children with an opportunity to compete participate in a L1 (intra school) competitive event. Total spend 2015 2016 9, 362 10

We provided pupils with the opportunity to participate in a range of Level 2 school games opportunities by using the funding to subsidise the transport costs. Total spend 2014 2015 8, 275 11
Summary of our Achievements and the Impact of the Funding to Date Indicator 1: The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity kick starting healthy active lifestyles As a result of the funding we have significantly increased the engagement of pupils in regular physical activity by training our play leaders and TA s to lead activity at lunchtimes, invested in a range of playground specific equipment and introduced the daily mile in to the school day. As a result of these interventions we have seen the following impact: Exceptionally low amount of playground incidents and accidents at lunchtimes due to the active nature of pupils. Pupils being active at lunch adding to the whole ethos of a healthy lifestyle. Pupils begin afternoon energised and ready for learning as evidenced by anecdotal pupil and staff feedback. Increased fitness/stamina levels of pupils as evidenced by more pupils running for longer. Improved concentration levels in the afternoons as evidenced by anecdotal staff and pupil feedback. Increased awareness of pupils in how they can lead healthy active lifestyles as evidenced by anecdotal pupil feedback. Indicator 2: The profile of PE and sport being raised across the whole school as a tool for school improvement. We have seen the profile of PE and sport being raised across the whole school as a result of the investment we have been able to make due to this funding. Display boards that exemplify the values associated with PE and Sport have been purchased and are now displayed throughout the school. The house teams have been renamed after elite athletes and the Olympic values are now displayed throughout the school and are an implicit part of the school assembly themes. The impact of the spend associated with this indicator includes: Raised profile of ethos and vision of school as pupils, staff and parents see that PE and sport are valued as a result of the new equipment purchased, the new display boards, the reference to the Olympic value on the school newsletter to parents and the raised profile of these values in school assemblies. Improved standards within PE as evidenced by the summative assessment data collected at the end of a unit. Improved attitudes to, not only PE and School Sport as the curriculum being taught is now relevant and fun but to, learning generally as a result of improved concentration, behaviour and determination. 12

Increased confidence of staff to teach PE as a result of better subject knowledge and, as a result, a better understanding of the wider benefits of PE and sport on pupils mental and physical health and wellbeing. Indicator 3: Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport. All teachers have benefitted and continue to benefit from the support of a specialist PE teacher working alongside them to team teach one of their PE lessons per week in order to increase their subject knowledge and confidence to deliver high quality PE lessons. The impact of this has been: The number of pupils achieving their age related expectations in PE as evidenced in assessment data is above national average. Pupils inspired and engaged in their PE lessons as evidenced by their positive attitude to learning. The Increased enjoyment of pupils in lessons as evidenced by anecdotal pupil feedback. Increased empowerment and confidence of staff to deliver their own PE lessons as evidenced from staff feedback. Improved attitudes to PE and School Sport as the curriculum being taught is now relevant and fun Indicator 4: Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils. We have funded a wide range of sports clubs before, during and after school for all pupils to access. In fact the number of clubs being offered by the school as a direct result of this funding rose from 4 in September 2015 to 12 by the summer of 2016. This has seen an increase in the participation from pupils; of the 270 on roll during this time frame 176 pupils took up an opportunity to access a club at some stage during the year as evidenced by registers. As a result of these interventions we have seen: Increased pupil participation an average of 20 children per activity per week participated in an extra-curricular physical activity. Improved standards within curriculum PE. Improved behaviour and attendance. Improved attitudes to PE and School Sport. Raised self-esteem, enjoyment and commitment to PE and School Sport as evidenced in uptake of extra-curricular opportunities and feedback from staff and pupils who took part 13
Indicator 5: Increased participation in competitive sport The funding has enabled us to subsidise transport costs so that we have been able to enter and compete in a range of Level 2 School games events providing more opportunities for more pupils to complete at this level. The impact of this spend has been: Raised self-esteem, enjoyment and commitment to PE and School Sport as evidenced in feedback from staff and willingness of pupils to compete. Raised profile of PE and School Sport both within the school (awards given out during school assemblies) but also within the wider community Children developing a sense of team spirit and a resilience to both winning and losing as evidenced by their behaviour and attitude to failure both on and off the sports field. 14
Next Steps - Our Plans for 2017-18 and how we will Sustain the Improvements We aim to use the funding to further embed the values and ethos we associate with PE and School sport within our school community by continuing to promote healthy active lifestyles, to invest in our staff so that they have the confidence, knowledge and skills to deliver high quality PE lessons, continue to provide all of our pupils with a broad range of sports and activities and continue to provide increased opportunities for more pupils to participate in competitive sport. We will continue to raise the profile of PE and School Sport and use these, along with their associated values, as a tool for whole school improvement. We will further invest in the development of regular physical activity opportunities and structured playground games though further developing the environment, training both staff and pupils as play leaders and investing in further equipment. We will continue to explore and investigate the opportunity to develop of our school field and daily mile course to ensure it is accessible throughout the year irrespective of the weather. We will continue to allocate funding to pay for external coaches to deliver a broad range of extra-curricular clubs and opportunities in addition to those we can offer ourselves to motivate, engage and inspire our less active pupils. We aim to enter more competitions over the coming academic year, using the funding to invest in more team kits and to subsidise transport costs, thereby providing more opportunities for more children to compete. To ensure the sustainability of these opportunities in the future we will explore the feasibility of using some of the funding towards the purchasing/leasing of a school mini bus. This will also raise the profile of the school across the town. We will continue to invest in a support package from Active Education to ensure our staff can continue to benefit from high quality CPD opportunities. 15
