Stuart Road Primary Academy annually receives Primary PE and Sports Premium Funding to support and enhance the delivery of PE in our school. Research has shown how a healthy lifestyle helps good general development... 'a healthy mind in a healthy body.'
We continue to invest in the physical and mental well-being of our children and have identified a need for a scheme of work to be put in place which allows for the continued delivery of high quality PE sessions in the form of REAL PE. This scheme comes additional training for staff in it's delivery in school. REAL PE is highly inclusive and is designed to engage children of all abilities.
After school PE clubs have been mapped out and introduced to give every child a wider scope of activities, which change termly, linking to our current PE curriculum. This has also allowed for additional opportunities as well such as Plymouth Patriots coming and delivering sessions as well as participating in competitive sports again through the Plymouth Schools Sports Partnership programme. Year 5 children have also begun again to take annual swimming lessons at the Plymouth Life Centre.
We also have links with the College of St. Mark and St. John (Marjons), where we have the opportunity to use their facilities and additional coaching from their student PE teachers- this will be open to Years 4, 5 and 6 in the coming year.
Attached are documents featuring reports of how this money was spent.
