Sports Premium Funding (2023-24) At Southgate School

This year, Southgate School will receive approximately £16,500 to allocate to the area of Sports Premium. In October 2023 we will receive approximately £9625 with the next instalment in April 2024 approximately £6875

Over the course of the academic year 2023-24, Key Stage 2 pupils will again have access to swimming lessons at Kirklees Leisure Centre.

Additional staff will be implemented, where appropriate to ensure that all pupils are able to access these lessons in a safe and meaningful way. We will also purchase additional flotation devices to enable a wider range of pupils to access swimming. We are in discussions with Kirklees Active Leisure to look at increasing the number of pupils across school who are able to meet the following National Curriculum KS2 requirements for swimming:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m.
• Use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, back stroke and breast stroke.
• Perform a safe, self rescue in different water based situations.

We will continue to focus on the development of staff practice in P.E through regular audits and teacher feedback. New or less confident teaching staff will be able to receive strategic support from Pennine Sports Partnership to develop confidence and skillset when teaching PE. This will ensure that all pupils receive a thorough, well balanced P.E offer, allowing them to develop a wider range of skills and further promote engagement in lessons. The Healthy Lifestyles Lead will continue to ensure that high quality resources are available to all classes through regular auditing and purchase them as necessary to allow teachers to continue to deliver the teaching scheme “Get set 4 P.E.”

Across 2023-24 we aim for our pupils to engage in accessible sporting competitions and venues within the local community. Funding will be put in place for this to be staffed appropriately and resources such as transport put in place.

Our whole school enrichment offer will be further developed to allow pupils across school a wider choice of engaging, physical activities. All pupils in Years 9-11 will continue to make a choice of activity as well as regular feedback from pupils on new activities they would like to access. Pennine Sports Partnership will continue to have a significant role in our school enrichment offer, with a particular focus in 2022-23 on the continued development of new and less experienced teachers. Other external providers we are looking to collaborate with include Huddersfield Giants Rugby Club as well as re-establishing our links with Huddersfield Town. The wider choice of activities will continue to promote pupils’ engagement, increase the number of pupils across school engaging in physical activity and receive positive pupil voice.

We will focus on further developing the play equipment we have on offer at playtime, engaging the pupils in a wider range of activities.
