Impact
Proud of our Sporting Achievements
We are very proud to have received the highest School Games Mark Award – the Platinum Accreditation! This is a Government led award scheme to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and wider community.
What is the Sports Premium
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.
This means we must use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to:
- Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer
- Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
In the year 2024/ 2025 the PE and sport premium allocation received was £19, 450. The reported spend and impact was completed through the DfE expenditure reporting return.
In the year 2025/ 2026 the PE and Sport premium allocation will be £19, 480.
Our Inspiring Sporting Curriculum
The children at our academy experience a wide variety of alternative and popular sports throughout the curriculum and as part of our extensive programme of enrichment opportunities. All children receive at least two hours of high quality Physical Education every week. In addition to this, we ensure that our children engage in active play at lunchtimes. This enables us to achieve our aims which are:
- To increase the participation levels of children in physically active play
- To ensure that children develop healthy, active lifestyles
- To develop a range of engaging events/activities.
- To build self-esteem in children
- To promote inclusive practice and participation rates in Physical Education.
- To ensure that children demonstrate our values of Honesty, Enjoyment, Achievement,
- Respect and Teamwork whilst engaging in physical activity
Our skilled teaching staff engage children in additional physical activity across the curriculum. We promote cross-curricular learning and children can be seen participating in physical activity in other lessons!
Developing Sports Leaders of the Future
Our athletes at Park Hall Academy are given opportunities to develop their leadership skills by becoming Sports Ambassadors and Playground Leaders. Our Ambassadors and Playground Leaders manage and officiate school games activities throughout our academy. Our Ambassadors are sporting role models for their peers and younger members of the Park Hall Family. They collaboratively lead parts of the PE lessons and use their talents to develop the skills of others.
Competitive Sports
Children enjoy representing our academy in the many and varied competitive events at a Trust, Cluster, District and City Level. Opportunities are inclusive to all children, where our children have thr opportunity to demonstrate excellence. This extends to both the children’s sporting skills and to the manner in which they support their team members too.
Our athletes demonstrate sportsmanship when they engage in competitive events and are often recognised by others too!
We promote our sporting successes, of which there are many in a variety of ways.
Extra-Curricular and Engagement of pupils in Physical Activity.
We are extremely proud of the wide range of sporting opportunities which our children are able to access beyond the school day. We provide access to different types of sporting activities, including cross-country, football, cricket and many other exciting sports.
