Autumn 1 - the two PE leaders attended the annual Sports Conference where best practice was shared and connections were made with other providers.  This included the opportunity for Sheffield Hatters to work with our staff and pupils in a coaching role in the coming year.

Autumn 2 - a PE audit was given out to staff to ascertain their areas of strength in the various curriculum units and to identify any future training needs.  This showed that staff were confident in the teaching of PE with the only area needing some development centred around the rules of games in KS2. Monitoring of fit spurts by the PE Leader resulted in a redesign and relaunch.

Spring 1 - discrete PE lessons began in Foundation Stage, with teachers having guidance on the new units in GetSet4PE.

Spring 2 - monitoring of PE lessons by the PE leader was positive, with teachers accurately modelling key skills and pupils then applying these independently. Pupils demonstrated a good understanding of the importance of exercise and stated that PE lessons are accessible for all abilities.

Summer Term - three Y4 teachers worked alongside the Sheffield Forgers over a course of six sessions to support their delivery of tag rugby and improve their understanding of rules and tactics, as well as key skills progression. One of the PE leaders attended training to prepare for submission of the Sportsmark.

Autumn 1 - Forge SSP trained a number of our pupils in KS2 for the role of Sports Leaders, Change 4 Life Champions and girls’ Football Activators. Rotas were then put in place for these pupils to lead active games during lunchtimes; Sports’ Leaders also took responsibility for delivering warm-up activities in PE lessons.   New starters in Reception were provided with a free water bottle and encouraged to bring this into school every day.  Y1 pupils took part in weekly Forest School sessions and pupils in years 2 to 6 had access to outdoor learning opportunities in the various areas around school - the Creature Feature, Butterfly Garden and Creation Station. This made learning more active and helped raise engagement levels.   Y2 pupils took part in a Bikeability course using balance bikes.  During Breakfast Club, the ActivAll Boards continue to be used to keep pupils active. 

Various sporting activities and clubs have been advertised each week on the school’s weekly newsletter.

Autumn 2 - lunchtimes in FS and KS1 introduced zones to encourage more pupils to get involved in a wider range of physical activities; this included the introduction of scooters and bikes.  These sessions continue to be supported by our Sports’ Leaders, Change 4 Life Champions and Girls’ Football Activators.  Lunchtimes were also redesigned for KS2, with Y3 being moved to a separate yard for the second half of the session, to give them more space and the ability to move around more and engage in sporting games. Ramps have been commissioned to allow us to move the ActivAll Boards outside at lunchtime.  Y1 continued with outdoor learning as part of their weekly Forest School sessions.

Spring 1 - new fitspurts in place including ‘Just Movement’ which focus purely on getting students active for ten minutes each day.  The PESSPA Champion in Y5 began his new support role of refereeing football for the Y3 pupils at lunchtime.   ActivAll Boards used daily (weather permitting) during lunchtimes as well as in Breakfast Club.  Y5 took part in the 6-week delivery of Joy of Moving led by SUFC - a combination of practical PE lessons as well as classroom sessions around the importance of healthy lifestyles, balanced diets and how to stay hydrated.

Spring 2 - a change in lunchtime activities from football to tag rugby has improved pupils’ access to sport during this time.  This, together with the relocation of Y3 to the infant yard and the daily use of ActivAll Boards has also meant pupils have more opportunities and space to be active and run around at lunch.  Fit spurts keep pupils active throughout the school day.  Various out-of-school activities, clubs and events have been advertised regularly on the weekly newsletter to encourage pupils to be active out of school.

Summer Term - lunchtime activities continued with the re-introduction of football alongside tag rugby.  A new leaderboard for the ActivAll Boards was set up during the daily breakfast club to encourage more pupils to have a go and get more active.  Fit spurts continued throughout the week and Forest Schools began for pupils in Reception, to encourage more active learning outdoors. All pupils took part in sports day which had a new competitive theme. Y4 pupils attended a sleepover at school which involved sports coach delivering a range of activities.

Autumn 1 -  One child in Y5 was nominated as our PESSPA Champion, and as part of this role, he has been supporting the Football Activators with football skills. Various pupils have been celebrated in whole-school assemblies for their sporting achievements outside of school; photographs have also been shared on social media.  A number of programmes were booked for the coming academic year, to encourage pupils to get involved in various physical activities, such as UDoIt Dance and the SU in the Community for Y5.

Autumn 2 - the PESSPA toolkit was completed and returned to Learn Sheffield; from this, the PE leader was able to identify key focus areas in school.  The Y5 dance performance with UDoIt Dance was celebrated on Twitter and in the whole school assembly.   Fitspurts were redesigned by the PE Leader following an audit of staff, to increase and raise the profile of physical activity throughout the school day.

Spring 1 - raised profile of the PESSPA Champion through his refereeing role at lunchtime in Y3. PE Leader’s redesign of fitspurts and PE tournaments at the end of each PE unit has given the subject a boost across school.  A visit by the MP Clive Betts was arranged for February to look at the Y5 Joy of Moving programme delivered by SUFC but this was unfortunately cancelled at short notice due to other parliamentary commitments.

Spring 2 - pupil voice showed that sports leaders are being used to lead warm-ups in PE and also give out PE Star certificates for pupils trying hard in lessons (as opposed to the more able athletes).  Monitoring by the PE Leader found fit spurts being used effectively in some year groups and feedback given to staff to improve this.  Competitive tournaments in lessons have also raised the profile of this element of school sports. 

Summer 1 - all pupils benefited from a visit from paralympic athlete, Antony Cotterill, a wheelchair tennis champion, who last visited the school a few years ago.  Pupils enjoyed a day of fitness and through sponsorship, helped raise money for PE equipment to increase physical activity during unstructured times.

Summer 2 - collation of new photographs from parents and carers to celebrate their children’s successes in out-of-school sporting events.  This was advertised on the weekly newsletter and will form an updated celebratory display in the main school hall.  The new style sports days for every year group were extremely well attended by parents and carers and even involved them getting involved alongside their children.

Autumn 1 - sports’ clubs restarted with Forge SSP running two clubs each week  - Y2 gymnastics and KS1 dance. Staff also ran clubs for Y1 parachute games, Y3 ActivAll Boards, Y3 circuit training and Y6 badminton.  All Y2 pupils took part in a session of bike-a-mentals in September, helping them improve their balancing skills through gymnastics, before practising on the bikes. Pupils also attended a number of events: KS2 team building at EIS which has an ‘engage and inspire’ festival theme; Y4 football; Y5/6 tag rugby and Y5/6 dodgeball.

Autumn 2 - further sports’ clubs continued this half term with the Forge sports coach running KS1 dance and Y4 gymnastics and one of our own teachers continuing with Y5/6 badminton.  Thirty Y5 pupils attended a weekly dance workshop which culminated in a dance performance at Canon Medical Arena in December.   Various tournaments and festivals were attended by our pupils: Y2 curling at Ice Sheffield, Y2/3 multiskills, Y4 handball and Y5 handball. The whole school also took part in the Sheffield Schools Skipathon.

Spring 1 - sports’ clubs continued with Forge running two different clubs - KS1 ball games, Y3 dodgeball. 

Staff ran parachute games in KS1and Y5/6 badminton.

Unfortunately, the scheduled climbing event didn’t go ahead as our transport failed to turn up on time.

Spring 2 - Forge SSP ran after-school clubs for Y1/2 ball games and Y4 basketball.  Staff ran clubs for Y1 in Forest Schools, KS1 parachute games, Y5/6 badminton and Y5/6 martial arts.   Y5 pupils took part in basketball coaching with the Sheffield Hatters, which culminated in the Westfield Health Basketball Tournament for a group of children.  Y5 pupils also completed their Bikeability training.

Summer 1 - Forge SSP ran after-school clubs for Reception mini-Olympics and Y3/4 tennis and our staff ran Y5 girls’ netball and Y3/4 cricket club. Y4 pupils enjoyed coaching in tag rugby from Sheffield Forgers over a six-week period, which also included a lunchtime club for all KS2 pupils.  Some Y4 pupils attended the Ninja Warrior Festival.

Summer 2 - Forge SSP ran after-school clubs for Y5/6 rounders and Y3/4 tennis, while our own staff ran a Y1/2 scootering club and a Y4/5 cricket club. Pupils in Y4 attended a lacrosse festival and were excited about the possibility of introducing the sport into school next year. Y4 pupils attended a cricket festival at Hollinsend and Y5/6 pupils also took part in the Sheffield Colour Smash, which was an unforgettable experience.  Some targeted Y4 pupils attended an alternative sports day; one of the governors who accompanied the trip noted that pupils who would not normally enjoy sports, really got ‘stuck in’ with the different activities.

Autumn 1 - Y5/6 pupils took part in a tag rugby competition but unfortunately, didn’t qualify for the next round.  Our Y4 football team were placed in the top pool after winning every game in a tournament in October. They then played three games in the top league, winning two and losing one.  The daily ActivAll Board competition continues each morning during Breakfast Club.

Autumn 2 - Y6 pupils attended the athletics final in December, following the earlier competition being cancelled due to snow.  Y5/6 boys attended a football competition at the local Community Sports College in December, to compete against four other schools; they came third.  Pupils competed against each other within their classes in the final lesson of their PE unit. 

Spring 1 - pupils had the opportunity to take part in the following competitive events - Y4 basketball, Y5 basketball and Y5 netball.  The PE Leader introduced a new competition focus to fit spurts, with the aim of keeping things engaging, emphasising fun, low-pressure competition.  In addition, new class 

and year group tournaments were introduced at the end of each PE unit, forming a natural progression from the smaller competitions happening during lessons.  Winning teams then play against each other across classes.

Spring 2 - year group competitions continued in PE lessons.  A group of thirty Y2 pupils took part in Sportshall Athletics, Y5 pupils attended a basketball tournament and KS2 pupils took part in the annual Aquafest competition.  The PE Leader set up the new competitive sports day agenda and year group leaders were asked to select their chosen date in the summer term.  These have now been advertised to parents via the weekly newsletter.

Summer 1 - year group competitions continued in PE lessons; Y3/4 pupils took part in an orienteering tournament and Y5/6 pupils participated in an athletics competition.  The new leaderboard in Breakfast Club for the ActivAll Boards raised the profile of competitive sports and increased the number of pupils wanting to have a go.

Summer 2 - this year saw the introduction of competitive sports days for individual year groups as opposed to the previously hosted Fitness Funday which focused more on trying out different sporting activities rather than the children competing against one another.  Pupil and parent voice was extremely positive and each day was very well attended, with parents getting involved in competitive races themselves.
