School Sport Premium

At Shakespeare Primary School allocation of the Sports Premium is carried out through a wide range of initiatives, projects and strategies. Provision is typically made through:

• All teachers and support staff having access to high quality CPD
• Interventions for children who may need support.
• High quality learning resources
• An extended curriculum of extra-curricular activities,
• Visits and visitors
• Facilitating participation in competitions, festivals and events.

Shakespeare uses a range of methods to monitor the impact of the sports premium on PE, physical activity and school sport.

• Staff reviews
• Pupil interviews
• Observations
• Learning walks
• Case studies
• Data analysis
• Attendance in extra-curricular activities

Through effective targetting of inactive groups of children and the further development of staff who teach and support PE and sport across school, we hope to make sustainable improvements in our provision leading to improved outcomes over time for an increasing number of pupils. 

Governors monitor the impact of the Pupil Premium Grant expenditure through the following ways:

• Working alongside the senior leadership of the school during some of the monitoring processes.
• All Governors through committee work and visits to school contribute to the evaluation of specific initiatives, projects and strategies.
• Healthy schools and Sport governor feed back to the rest of the governing body through the pupil support sub-committee.
