At Bishop’s Waltham Junior School the health, safety and well-being of every child is our top priority.  

PE & Sport Premium

All children and young people should live healthy active lives. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that all children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day. Children with special educational needs and disabilities should take part in 20 minutes of daily activity.

 

Schools have a key role to play in achieving this aim. This is particularly true of primary schools where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded. All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Academic achievement can improve in school because of the benefits children can gain.

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims.

They should use it to make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide, such as:

  • funding high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities
  • providing or improving equal access to sport for boys and girls

Schools should prioritise PE and sport premium spending to improve in the following 5 key areas:

  1. increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
  2. increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport
  3. raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
  4. offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
  5. increase participation in competitive sport

For the year 2023 to 2024, the amounts payable will be:

  • schools with 17 or more eligible pupils will receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil

Reporting

As part of the conditions of grant, schools must publish a report detailing how they have spent their PE and sport premium funding allocation on their school website by 31 July 2024.

Reports must include:

  • the amount of PE and sport premium received
  • a full breakdown of how it has been spent, including justifying any additional costs incurred and describing:
    • the measurable impact that the school has seen on pupils’ PE attainment, physical activity and sport participation due to the spending
    • how the spend will be sustainable in the future

Schools must also publish the percentage of pupils within its year 6 cohort in the 2023 to 2024 academic year who met the national curriculum swimming and water safety requirements.

Competitive Sports at BWJS  (2023-2024) 

Bishop’s Waltham Junior School is part of the South Eastleigh and Winchester Sports Partnership and as a result competed in a wide range of Level 2B sports competitions.

If as a school we are victorious in any of the pyramid sports competitions, then we would represent the Sports Partnership at the County LEVEL 3 Competitions (Hampshire Games - June 2024).

In order to prepare for the sporting competitions (and select winning teams) the Swanmore Pyramid of Schools organises and leads a number of sporting events across the year. The winning teams then represent the pyramid at the partnership events. This provides each school with an element of competitive sport.
