Spaldwick Sport (including sports premium)

Spaldwick Sport

We are very pleased to have been able to continue school sports clubs. We have been working with Huntingdonshire School Sports Partnership (HSSP) and St Ives Football Club. The Kestrels have enjoyed an afterschool football club whilst the Eagles have participated in an afterschool tennis club. We also have multiskills, basketball and football clubs lined up for the Spring term. We love sport at Spaldwick!

Here is a round-up of our past sport successes, we look forward to getting back to competitive sport!

Tag Rugby – 4th place (A team) and 6th place (B team) in HSSP led competition. There was no opportunity for a progressive pathway for this event.

Netball – 3rd place (A team) and 4th place (B team). Both teams narrowly missed out on the final match with the top two teams progressing to the regional/district finals. They ended up playing each other in the 3rd/4th play off.

Hockey – 3rd place (A team) with the top 4 teams progressing to the regional/district finals. The A team won all group matches before narrowly losing 1-0 in the semi-final. We drew 0-0 in the 3rd/4th play off but finished 3rd due to a superior goal difference.

PE and Sport Premium

The PE and Sport Premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

This means that the premium should be used to:

develop or add to the PE and sport activities that the school already offers
make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

For example, the funding may be used to:

hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs
run sport competitions
increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
run sports activities with other schools

Below is the link to show how we have spent our PE funding this year and last year.
