Sports Premium 2024 - 2025
Healthy Living
At Roe Green Infant School (RGI), we value the importance of regular exercise and a balanced diet in order to ensure a healthy lifestyle. We focus on exercise and healthy eating in many parts of the curriculum, including Physical Education, PSHE, Science and Design Technology. It is also an important part of our school values.
What have the School Council found out?
The school council are of the opinion that physical activity and sensible diets will help Roe Green children to keep fit and healthy. They thought that facilities such as a challenging climbing trail would help increase the children’s confidence, team spirit and friendship circles. The School Council also felt that new equipment and specialist PE teachers would help to enhance their physical skills and fitness levels.
The sports funding will be used to support some of these targets
-
To develop a stimulating PE Curriculum for all pupils and teachers.
-
To develop PE in EYFS (introduce in house sporting competitions for reception and nursery).
-
To raise attainment and assessment across the curriculum with a particular focus on P.E.
-
A new climbing frame and trail suitable for all year groups was purchased and installed at a cost of £25,000.
-
A specialist teacher was employed in 2024 to focus on the teaching of movement.
Current PE Provision at RGI
-
PE is taught in our Foundation Footsteps and also in PE lessons, which include dance, gymnastics and invasion games including tag rugby, basketball, football, hockey, cricket, tennis and badminton. Sport Premium funding has enabled us to purchase the relevant equipment for these sports.
-
Daily circuit training is provided for our children with high level needs.
-
A competitive sports day is held each year for individual year groups and the winning class is presented with an annual trophy.
-
Our school mini bus allows a weekly trip to a local school to take place. This gives our children in KS1, access to a wider range of resources and specialist teaching.
Sport Premium has also enabled the teachers to go on a number of courses with a focus on increasing activity levels in PE lessons. The subscription to the PE Hub scheme, has given teachers the confidence to teach a different variety of sports. Termly observations and training takes place enabling the staff to become more confident in the strategies they are using during their PE lessons and to successfully increase the activity levels of children.
In March 2025, our children at Roe Green Infant school took part in Red Nose Day by coming into school wearing red clothing and walking to school in the morning. Throughout the day Reception and KS1 took part in an Egg and Spoon race to raise money for this great cause. All participants thoroughly enjoyed the event and it was a huge success as we managed to raise £422.05 for this amazing cause. RGI will once again be taking part in Comic Relief in 2025 and are aiming to raise even more money.
In April 2025, Reception took part in their first interschool team games competition. All 4 classes took part in team games such as the bean bag race, ice cream cone race, hopping race and a relay running race. All classes enjoyed the friendly competition and it was great to see the games performed in good spirit and all pupils showed great sportsmanship. In a close contest within their year group, the team games were won by Green Parrot class.
Having set a target to increase the competitiveness in school competitions, this year’s Sports Days proved to be huge successes with staff and pupils. In June 2025, Roe Green Infant School held their annual sports day on the field. It was a glorious day and the sun was shining. The children took part in events such as egg and spoon, sack race, bean bag balance, hurdles relay race, relay race. All classes enjoyed the friendly competition and it was great to see the events performed in good spirit and all pupils showed great sportsmanship. In a close contest within their year groups, the sports day trophies were won by Badger class of Year 2 and Eagle class of Year 1.
Reception took part in their first competitive sports day ever, where the 4 classes were split up faced off against each in events such as egg and spoon, relay race, hurdles race, target throw and bean bag balance race. The impact of this was immense as it enabled pupils to perform skills that they learnt in lessons that could be transferred in a competitive environment. All children enjoyed the friendly competition and showed great sportsman ship. On the day the class that came out on top were Yellow Canaries, while Nursery competed within their classes respectively.
