Red Barn Community Primary School
From September 2013 all primary schools received additional government funding specifically for the development of sport within each school. Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. In 2018-19, Red Barn Community Primary School received £9,035 and used the funding to develop the quality of provision across the school within PE lessons and to extend the opportunities available for pupils. This year, for the fifth year running, we have achieved the Gold Kite Mark for our commitment to high quality PE Provision. We aim to achieve the Platinum Kite Mark over the next two academic years.
We employ a specialist PE teacher (Sue Gardiner) one morning per week, to work alongside teaching staff during PE lessons. This provision aims to deepen understanding and confidence in the teaching of PE across all primary age classes. In addition, we employ a specialist Sports Coach, Dave Rowland, who will be working one afternoon a week alongside Sue Gardiner and staff supporting high quality curriculum PE provision. Alongside this specialist teaching, help and support is given to organise and run intra and inter school sporting competitions. We participate regularly in competitions at local cluster events (Level 2 competitions) throughout the year. Change 4 Life Club – The PE manager and Learning Support Assistants run a Change 4 Life club on Wednesdays 3.30pm-4.30pm that is open to Years 1-6. We have timetabled coaching sessions providing enrichment activities for our high attaining pupils in Gymnastics, Dance and Games. These sessions are led by Sue Gardiner on a termly basis. Alongside the PE manager, Sue Gardiner also has allocated time to support the running of the Sports Crew – a team of children in Year 5 and 6 with various roles aimed at supporting and promoting the sporting achievements throughout the school.
We are highly committed to providing our children with high quality PE lessons as well as opportunities to challenge themselves in a competitive environment in both inter and intra school events.
