Sports Premium
At Mulgrave, Physical Education (P.E.) and school sports are integral to the student experience, playing a crucial role in the holistic development of each child. We believe that physical activity is intrinsically linked to mental well-being, fostering a sense of care for both body and mind. Our P.E. program is designed to integrate physical education with mindfulness practices and hygiene education, ensuring that we address the needs of the whole child. Our overarching goal is to cultivate happy, healthy, and active students who develop a lifelong passion for physical activity. We strive to provide children with a diverse range of sporting opportunities, fostering positive experiences that encourage them to maintain an active lifestyle well into adulthood.
To further enhance our P.E. and sports programs, we utilize the PE and Sport Premium funding, as outlined by the Department for Education. This funding enables us to make sustainable improvements to the quality of P.E. and sport offerings, expanding the range of activities available to our students and building a foundation for future generations.
The funding, calculated based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, allows us to invest in resources and initiatives that contribute to the long-term well-being and physical development of our students. Specifically, schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil, ensuring that we can maximize the impact of our P.E. and sports initiatives.

Impact of PE and Sports Premium 2018 - 2019
The Sports Premium was allocated to be spent in the following ways in the 2018 – 2019 academic year:
- Fund new sports equipment for both P.E. lessons and lunchtimes. This is to ensure that students attain a higher quality of physical activity per day as well as allow for properly taught P.E. lessons, with the correct equipment.
- Fund a coach to run lunch time sessions with KS2. Through this, not only will students have more physical activity per day, but target children will also get additional assistance for key skills.
- Our overall aim is to raise standards in P.E. and school sport, increasing the participation and opportunities offered to our children. We aim to provide higher quality lessons and improved learning for all by having a subscription to PEPlanner.org, which assists the teachers to plan engaging and fun P.E. lessons, even when they are not confident.
- Enable all classes now access 2 hours of high-quality PE every week by having coaches work with all staff on their continued professional development, demonstrating and working with teachers on how to plan and deliver a series of skill based, fun lessons for the students.
- Provide quality assured professional development opportunities for teachers, enabling quality teaching and learning for all children. All NQTs have had CPD through the Inspire Partnership of schools, and have come back to school full of ideas and buzzing about their experiences.
- Swimming lessons for both Year 5 classes for the whole year. This has ensured that not only the statutory number of students are able to swim the minimum amount of length, but also allows for a deepening of confidence for those who can already swim, but need to develop further.
- Rental of a field, toilet facilities and purchase of new equipment for Sports Day in order to encourage students love of athletics and make the day special for all those participating in it.
