Sports Premium Funding at Avanti Court
At Avanti Court Physical Education and Sporting play is very important for all pupils and at least two-hour sessions per week are dedicated to physical activity in the curriculum. We believe that physical activity and sport contribute to the holistic development of children and through participation in sport and physical education, children learn more about themselves and develop lifelong values such as: teamwork, fair play and respect for themselves and others. There is significant evidence to show the positive effects of sport and exercise on children’s physical health, growth, and development but also on their academic ability. Sport and activity also provide a healthy environment for children to learn how to deal with competition and how to cope with both winning and with losing.
Competition
Competition is an important part of school life. Children are introduced to competition within different areas of the curriculum and also through day to day experiences at the school. All children have the opportunity to compete in-school competitions throughout the year. Our Active Play Buddies ensure that competition is kept high on our agenda and that they are on hand to support outside play. Our sporting teams will also be scheduled to play other schools in various matches throughout the year and enter various borough competitions.
Our aims for the Sports Premium Funding
For the next academic year, the Government is making available to all schools a sum of money to allow them to continue to develop sports provision within school and to help schools increase pupil participation in sporting activities.
At Avanti Court, our Sports Premium Spending action plan shows how we will use the Sports Funding effectively.
With regards to the sustainability of our spending, the investment into our playground and our sports equipment will ensure that all future pupils will have the same opportunities as our current cohort receive now. By up-skilling our teachers, we are investing into our staff, leading to an increase in the delivery of our PE curriculum not just this year, but in years to come.
