The Government provided funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013/14 and 2014/15 and 2015/16 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding was jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and saw money going directly to primary schools to spend on improving the quality of, and participation in, sport and PE for all their children.

The government has continued this funding for Primary PE and school sport; meaning primary schools are able to put in place longer term plans to further improve provision.

Physical Education and Sports Provision at Overdale Junior School

At Overdale Junior School, we strive to promote healthy and active lifestyles and aim to provide sporting opportunities for all our pupils. We have a long standing tradition for sporting success across a range of sports including football, swimming, athletics, and cross country. This year, we are continuing to provide our pupils with more opportunities than ever before through PE lessons, extra-curricular provision and competitions.

In July 2019, we reapplied for our School Games Mark and we are pleased to say we were awarded Gold for the forth year running, which is a great achievement. We have also received significant recognition of our achievements from the Leicester City School Sports Partnership and Leicestershire and Rutland Sport. We aim to use the Sport Premium Funding to further enhance our provision and work hard to retain our Gold School Games Award and apply for Platinum at the end of the academic year 2019-20.

We are really pleased with the successful use of our Twitter account as a means to regularly communicate with parents and the community with news and information related to sport and PE at Overdale Junior School. This has been very well received and has a growing number of followers made up of parents, local schools and sports providers/companies. Do have a look and follow us at @ojsSport!

All pupils participate in at least an hour’s quality PE lesson per week (wherever possible this is considerably more -please see our curriculum plans), along with regular ‘supermovers’ sessions, Daily Mile and other activities which enhance their curriculum PE provision. Throughout the year, year 5 children participate in a weekly swimming lesson at Aylestone swimming pool. In addition, a number of lunchtime and after-school enrichment clubs are held throughout the academic year. Clubs change periodically due to demand and suitability; with some clubs open to the whole school and others targeted to different children, ensuring there are multiple opportunities for all. Our uptake of children attending clubs tends to be very high.

This year, we are again lucky enough to be able to have our sports coach, Mr Stevens working with us in school. He is working with children in curriculum PE Time, PPA coaching time and lunchtimes/afterschool sessions. We also have 2 sports coaches on the playgrounds at lunchtime to help children organise games and activities amongst their friends.

Sports Premium Funding

The Government provided funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding was jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and saw money going directly to primary schools to spend on improving the quality of, and participation in, sport and PE for all their children.

The government doubled this funding for Primary PE and school sport in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, meaning primary schools were able to put in place longer term plans to further improve provision. We have been lucky enough to receive this funding again for the academic year 2019-2020.

Please find below details on our Sports Premium allocation and find out how this is being used at our school:

The sports premium budget has allowed us to increase the amount of physical activity that children at Overdale Juniors are exposed to. The employment of Mr Stevens from Metcalf Multi sports has given the school a dedicated member of staff who is instrumental in the children feeling more engaged with the activities that are on offer. It has also ensured we are able to provide a broad and balanced extra curricular offer that meets all children’s needs.

The funding has also allowed us to ensure that equipment is safe and replaced when necessary and that we have enough for all children to participate, especially during the Covid 19 outbreak.

Having coaches on the playground at lunchtime has helped structure play, reducing the amount of friction on the playground and getting more children involved in physical activity at lunchtime.

We have been able to continue taking part in competitions, funding transport to events and equipment needed to take part in competitions.

The funding has also allowed release time for PE coordinators to facilitate and organise the PE provision, both curriculum and extra curricular. This has been one morning a week over the course of the year.

Due to Covid 19, some of our planned activities were unable to happen. As a result, any funds left unspent will be carried forwards to next year to further enhance our provision of physical activity within the school.
