Use of Sports Premium
At Phoenix School, we believe that the purpose of the Sports Premium is:
- To ensure that children benefit from high quality Physical Education as part of the school curriculum and that staff benefit from continuing professional development;
- To provide opportunities for competitive school sport for all children who wish to take part;
- To encourage children to take part in School Sports, PE and active play at break and lunch times;
- To identify, enthuse and engage with children and families who are less likely to choose sports and exercise as a lifestyle choice;
- To increase the number of children who take part in after-school sports clubs by offering a wider range of activities;
- To work in partnership with other organisations and school to maximise the potential of School Sports and PE;
- To raise attainment in primary school swimming;
- To inspire children to participate in a range of sporting activities, especially the least active.

In developing School Sports and PE, over the course of the year the Sports Premium Funding (£17,750) was allocated in several ways:

- Subsidising the cost of a lease for a school minibus to allow teams to travel to other schools and take part in competitions without the need to be reliant on parental support. (£2750)

2018/19 Impact Summary
Over the course of the year, the percentage of children participating in extra-curricular sports rose from 30% to 38% with the gender gap closing from 22% in the Autumn Term to 0% in the Spring and Summer Terms.
The range and number of clubs was increased with funding allowing support staff to run extra-curricular sports clubs for identified groups of children (age and gender).
All staff were able to use the newly introduced Scheme of Work to ensure appropriate pitch and progression within all areas of School Sports and PE.
Key Staff identified that they felt more secure in delivering PE lessons following Team Teaching alongside the PE Sports Coach.
