Sports Grant

Nike King's Cross Academy mini marathon

 This funding is to support schools in improving the quality of PE and the type of activities offered to pupils.

The funding is designed to help primary schools make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of physical education and school sport in primary schools across England, leading to a lifetime habit of participation.

 

How we spend the money

We are using this funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision for PE and sport for the benefit of all children in the school.

We are looking to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles, and get as many children participating in regular sport as possible.

We have used the five key indicators suggested by the Association for Physical Education as guidance for the way that we spend the funding, these are:

  • The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
  • The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
  • Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
  • Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
  • Increased participation in competitive sport

Year 6 Swimming attainment

In addition to our PE plan, we are required to publish the percentage of pupils able to swim 25m unaided at the end of KS2.  You can find this information below:

Meeting national curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety 23/24 data
Percentage of Y6 pupils who could swim competently, confidently and proficient over a distance of at least 25 meters when they left King’s Cross Academy. 68%
Percentage of Y6 pupils who could use a range of strokes effectively when they left King’s Cross Academy. 87%
Percentage of pupils who could perform a safe self-rescue in a different water-based situation when they left King’s Cross Academy. 87%
Schools can choose to use the PE and Sports Premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements.  Have you used it in this way? Yes for intensive lessons across all year groups
