Sports Premium
This year, we were awarded the Platinum Award for School Games
"The School Sport and Activity Action Plan sets out the government’s commitment to ensuring that children and young people have access to at least 60 minutes of sport and physical activity per day, with a recommendation of 30 minutes of this delivered during the school day (in line with the Chief Medical Officer guidelines which recommend an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week).
The PE and Sport Premium can help primary schools to achieve this aim, providing primary schools with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils. The PE and Sport Premium survey highlighted the significant impact which PE and Sport has had in many primary schools across England."
How we are using the funding at Hildenborough?
At Hildenborough CE Primary School, we recognise the value of sports and physical activity in ensuring that children lead active, healthy and happy lives.
PE and Sport provide our children with opportunities to develop the important qualities of self-control, determination, communication, team work and commitment. This should lead to improved concentration, attitude and achievement in all aspects of their personal development.
Here at Hildenborough, we pride ourselves on offering a broad and in-depth curriculum and therefore we use the sports premium funding effectively in order to be able to offer a sports curriculum which meets the needs of all pupils across the school.
In order to achieve this we work very closely with The Leigh Academy School Sports Partnership so that we can draw on their experience to be able to offer a range of activities and opportunities to all pupils.
The investment into LASSP gives our school access to staff development, specialist teaching and a wide variety of inter-school competitions.
We LOVE sport
Each year, we set ourselves the target; that every child will have the opportunity to take part in a sporting event or competition. We are delighted to announce that we not only met this target for the last 3 years, but also achieved The School Games Platinum Award for our dedication to sport. Last year we took part in over 30 sporting events, including Football, Dodgeball, Colour Dash, Cross Country, Hockey, Dance, Gymnastics and Basketball.... and much more!
Another highlight of our year is a visiting sport. A day organised to introduce the children to something new. This has included; a climbing wall, mini trampets, scooter day. This gives every child an opportunity to show their resilience as well as providing an unforgettable experience. We finish our year with our annual sports day at Tonbridge School. This enables all children to take part in a variety of activities, both competitive and fun on a full-sized athletics track.
We are again aiming for another action-packed year for sport at Hildenborough.
