Covid-19 Sport Premium Update
Funding
A Physical Education and Sports Grant is allocated to schools based on the number of children the school has on roll. The purpose of this funding is to improve and enhance the provision of PE across Primary Schools.
Our Vision
At Writtle Infant School we are fully committed to providing every pupil with access to the highest quality of Physical Education, together with developing our young children’s understanding of the importance and benefits, both physically and mentally, of a healthy and active lifestyle.
Alongside our engaging weekly PE lessons, we currently run a variety of clubs (both before and after school) that provide our children opportunities to engage in sport/physical activity. Such clubs are run by staff and professional external coaches.
Objectives of Spend:
- to improve the provision and quality of PE and Sport at WIS
- to ensure that PE and School sport is judged as at least good by external monitoring
- to develop our children’s love of sport and physical activity
- to continue to develop a whole school ethos of good health and mental well-being
- to increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in the teaching of PE and sport
- to provide our children the opportunities to engage in a variety of sporting activities
- to increase participation in competitive sport (both ultra and inter) whilst promoting the values of teamwork, determination, respect and good sporting behaviour.

Summary of Primary Sport Premium 2019 - 20
At Writtle Infant School we aim to use the Sports Premium money to create a sustainable curriculum for all children. We invested in the professional development of staff through gymnastics training and by observing specialist teachers in school from September 2019 to March 2020. The specialists coached all teachers in tennis, football, fencing and tag rugby. A number of our Foundation Stage children attended a Balanceability Festival and a professional from Chelmsford School Sport Partnership spent a morning in school with the entire Foundation Stage. Year 1 children went to the annual Teddy Lympics Festival and the Smash Festival, while four Year 2 girls attended a Cricket Workshop run by Karen Hussein in association with CSSP to promote girls' cricket.
Until the end of March 2020 outside coaches continued to run after-school clubs in which many Key Stage 1 children participated. Naturally, this provision was curtailed by the pandemic, but we hope that children experience was broadened by participating in these clubs and we have seen that they have continued their enthusiasm for P.E and sport during lockdown.
Objectives of spend:
- Improve the provision and quality of PE & School Sport at Writtle Infant School.
- Ensure that PE & School Sport is judged as at least good by external monitoring.
- Broaden the sporting opportunities and experiences available to pupils.
- To develop a love of sport and physical activity.

Summary of Primary Sport Premium 2018 -19
At Writtle Infant School we aim to use the Sports Premium money to create a sustainable curriculum for all children. Therefore some of the money provided by the funding will be invested in the professional development of staff and as a result should enhance the quality of teaching for all children. New planning has been developed to create a consistent approach to teaching P.E. across the school. As a result, the quality of children’s learning and development should be improved.We employ sports’ specialist teachers to work in our school throughout the week. The specialists coach all teachers and work alongside them in a range of sports. Due to this influence and expertise, all teachers will have the chance to develop their teaching of P.E. and will team teach with a specialist to increase knowledge, skills and confidence.
In addition to creating a sustainable P.E environment, Writtle Infant School also aspires to engage as many children as possible in extra-curricular activities. Consequently we have used part of the funding to employ outside coaches to run after-school clubs in which the children can participate. We hope that children will broaden their experiences by participating in these clubs and become more enthusiastic about P.E and sport.
After school clubs take place in addition to teacher led clubs. These have focused on extra-curricular physical and sports interests across Key Stage 1. These clubs allow children to engage and participate in sports which they would otherwise not have the opportunity to do.
Objectives of spend:
- Improve the provision and quality of PE & School Sport at Writtle Infant School.
- Ensure that PE & School Sport is judged as at least good by external monitoring.
- Broaden the sporting opportunities and experiences available to pupils.
- To develop a love of sport and physical activity.
