The Sports Premium funding  has allowed us as a school to enhance our sporting provision through:

• Engaging all pupils in regular physical activity and raise the profile of sports and PE in school
• Support teaching staff and our sports coach with training and professional development opportunities
• To access support from other services 
• To develop our PE curriculum
• To offer catch-up and further swimming lessons in order to meet or exceed the national expectations for swimming
• To offer active learning at play and lunch times

Swimming Provision

National Curriculum standards for swimming and water safety:

• To swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
• To use a range of strokes effectively.
• To perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

We recognise that standards of swimming have been affected due to the pandemic and the availability of swimming pools.  Therefore, children in year 4 will receive a term of weekly 30 minutes swimming sessions, followed by year 6 children during the summer term.  These sessions are currently held at Basildon Sporting Village.
