Introduction
PURPOSE OF
THIS DOCUMENT
London 2012 has been a major
inspiration to us all. With the
Commonwealth Games set to be
hosted in Glasgow in 2014 and other
upcoming sports events including
the Rugby World Cup 2015, there has
never been a better time to capitalise
on this golden era of British sport and
‘Inspire a Generation’ to fulfil their
potential in education and sport.
This short guide has been designed
to provide a quick overview of the
significant new funding for PE and
school sport, key recommendations
on how to effectively utilise the funds
available and a snapshot of the
support available in Nottinghamshire.
Over £2.5million is being invested in
Nottingham and Nottinghamshire
each year over the next two years.
Primary school Head Teachers are
the most significant and influential
people shaping the lives of children
within schools. It is imperative that we
make the most of this outstanding
opportunity to make a real, lasting
impact in our schools and to the lives
of our children.
We are here to help and can provide
you with all the support you need.
Please do not hesitate to contact
Sport Nottinghamshire, Youth Sport
Trust and local area partners
for support.

for further information.
NB. This is the first edition of the guide.
Over the summer, a second edition
will be produced in time for the new
academic year to provide you with
more specific details on the various
support offers available.

Overview
OVERVIEW
Of the new national funding
for primary school physical
education (PE) and sport
3
•
£150 million per annum for the next two years to support the delivery of PE and sport in primary schools. Funding will be allocated through a lump sum (£8,000) for each school and a per-pupil top-up mechanism. A typical primary school with 250 pupils will receive around £9,250 per year.
•
Funded by the Department for Education (£80m), the Department of Health (£60m) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (£10m).
•
The funding is to be used for
PE and School Sport
(Incorporating Health and Active Lifestyle programmes).
• Ring-fenced (to be used only for PE and school sport).
• Subject to OFSTED framework
and review.
•
Funding will be included in the Additional Grant for Schools (AGS) 2013-14 and 2014-15. AGS is distributed to local authorities in late September or early October each year. A different funding mechanism exists for academy schools.
•
Eligible special schools will receive their funding directly from the Department’s special education needs and disability division.
Primary school funding guide
REQUIREMENTS
and the OFSTED framework
•
Schools will be required to include details about their sporting provision on their
school website, alongside their curriculum details. This will enable parents to compare
sporting provision across and between schools, both within and beyond the school day.
•
Schools will be held to account for how they spend the funding. OFSTED will
strengthen its coverage
of sport and PE within the inspection handbook and supporting guidance, so that schools and inspectors
know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the overall provision offered by the school.
• The revised handbook will ask inspectors to consider:
?
“How well the school uses its Sport Premium to improve the quality
and breadth of its PE and sporting provision, including increasing
participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy
lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.”

Key considerations and recommendations
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Accessing the support available
SUSTAINABILITY
Creating a lasting legacy should be at the forefront of your thinking. This
funding is only guaranteed for 2 years. Consider allocating a substantial
proportion of your funding to Continuous Professional Development (CPD) for
all your staff to ensure that they have the competencies and confidence to
deliver and assess high quality PE.
CAPACITY AND FOCUS
Create additional capacity and ensure focus by appointing a dedicated
subject leader from your staff team. Recruit a cluster co-ordinator for your
family of schools to lead on collective projects and enable sharing of best
practice. The cluster co-ordinator could be a School Sport Co-ordinator/
teacher release post from your area secondary school or one of the subject
leaders who may be keen to take on the role.
ASSESSING STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Utilise the Youth Sport Trust self-review tool to understand your existing strengths
and weaknesses, so that you can improve the quality and breadth of your
schools PE and sporting provision.

wallplanner_final.pdf
UTILISE THE SUPPORT AVAILABLE,
BaSED ON YOUR SELF-REVIEW
Support is available to help guide and shape your approach and to enable
you to access high quality opportunities for your school. Please do not hesitate
to contact Sport Nottinghamshire, the Youth Sport Trust and local area partners
for support.
Visit: www.sportnottinghamshire.co.uk/youth-sport/school-club-links/schoolsport-contacts/ for further information.
DEVELOPING PHYSICAL LITERACY
Developing physical literacy through delivery of high quality Fundamental
Movement Skills/multi-skills training should be at the top of your agenda.
The more physically literate a child, the healthier they will be, the more likely
they are to attain higher grades, behave in class, be confident and enjoy
attending school.
5
Primary school funding guide
Consider setting up school-club links
Link with a local sports club to provide pathways/exit-routes into the
community sport system to enable children to develop a lifelong sporting
habit, which will also help to enhance the reputation of your school.
Visit: http://www.sportnottinghamshire.co.uk/youth-sport/school-club-links/ for
further details on how to do this.

Sport Nottinghamshire actively supports all of the following
area offers. These offers will help you to significantly
enhance your schools provision.
ASHFIELD
The Ashfield District School Sports Network, lead by the
Ashfield SGO in partnership with Ashfield District Council,
have developed a comprehensive offer for schools
in the area. The core proposal/offer is for schools to
consider employing qualified PE teachers across four
schools using a cluster approach. These qualified PE
teachers would be employed on a two-year temporary
contract and would work collaboratively to:
• Deliver quality PE lessons incorporating specific schemes of work.
• Take a strategic approach: Each PE teacher would have one day per week for planning / meetings / sports festivals / staff training / sports competitions. This would be the same day across the district to allow schools to access competitions on that day and for teachers to be given training. Employed PE teachers will take school teams to events on this day, resulting in greater accessibility to events for pupils of all ages.
• Develop and support the delivery of Change for Life / Energy Clubs targeting pupils with low levels of activity/ interest in PE and Sport.
• Offer professional development/training for existing staff members to improve the quality of PE teaching across the school.
• Help to organise School Games Day (Sports Day).
• Set up School Games Organising Crews.
For more information on the offer please contact Ashfield SGO, Glynn Hall via email to [email protected] or

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
ARCHERY SOCIETY
“
“
A sport for
all abilities
A safe archery kit has recently been developed specifically
for use in primary schools. The equipment has been designed
to enable teachers to deliver the sport in a safe, exciting,
environment either indoors or outside. With a little easy
maintenance, such as replacing worn strings,
the pack will enable your staff to deliver archery
lessons within the school for many years to come.
Nottinghamshire Archery Society (a part of the
national governing body Archery GB) would like
to promote the use of this equipment by running
half-day training sessions for teachers.
The aim of the sessions would be to:
• Cover the proper use of the pack, and go through the teachers’ notes and games contained within the pack.
• Give teachers hands on experience shooting bows with guidance from our registered coaches.
•
Encourage the concept of introducing inter-school competition by forming local school leagues. Rounds would be shot on the same day and results posted on the internet. This would provide your school with inter-school competition, without the need to make costly, time consuming travel arrangements.
• For those interested in longer term development we would also look at the possibility of School-Club links, or establishing an archery club within the school.

FENCING
ENGLAND
FENCING NGB
“
“
Go/Fence! is a fun
and extremely safe
system for introducing
the exciting modern
Olympic sport of
fencing to children
England Fencing (EF) has a variety of
offerings for your primary school from
tasters and have-a-go sessions as
part of talent programmes, multi-skills
festivals and sports days to
half-term, whole term, in-curriculum
PE sessions and/or after school
fencing clubs.
Over the past few years EF has
worked with hundreds of schools
to run the Go/Fence! scheme – a
fun and extremely safe system for
introducing the exciting modern
Olympic sport of fencing to children
in Years 4, 5 and 6.
At these ages it captures the
imagination and holds the attention
and is at once both physical and
mental exercise. Suitable for girls
and boys, it requires no complicated
equipment, just a simple plastic
face-mask and a plastic foil with a
protective foam tabard.
How does it work?
Whilst many Go/Fence! programmes
are led by qualified fencing coaches,
the programme is also designed to
be lead by anyone trained in the
scheme since it is fully supported
by pre-prepared lesson plans, with
handouts, posters and a DVD
on fencing.
A qualified fencing coach with
experience of introducing fencing
to children can lead an initial
programme whilst being shadowed
by the adult who is to continue the
after-school club when the coach
had delivered the agreed number
of sessions.
In others projects a teacher or other
adult has been trained to deliver
Go/Fence! by attending a
one-day workshop.
If primary schools in an area get
together to fund a number of

FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
How can I ensure that external coaches and clubs offer a
safe sports environment for young people?
Ideally any club you work with will have club
accreditation. Please view www.sportnottinghamshire.
co.uk/clubs/accreditation/ for an explanation of club
accreditation and a list of clubs with Clubmark (or
equivalent) in Nottinghamshire.
If the club does not have Clubmark, please contact
your Local Authority Sports Development Officer or the
appropriate NGB for advice on how to proceed. Coaches
involved in schools coaching must be suitably qualified
and should be observed by a member of school staff.
The school will need to assure itself that the club it is
linking to is bona fide and well managed. For detailed
information on safeguarding please visit:
www.sportnottinghamshire.co.uk/safeguarding/
For advice on deploying external coaches in your school
please refer to page 7 of the special edition of Youth Sport
Trust, Sporting Start magazine which provides advice from
the Association for Physical Education (AfPE). To access
the magazine, visit:
www.youthsporttrust.org/media/3387106/sportingstart_
specialedition_finalproof.pdf
What do you recommend for infant only schools?
We strongly advocate a real focus on the development of
a Fundamental Movement Skills/multi-skills approach that
will provide infant school children with the physical literacy
and key skills required as they progress in education and
life. Fundamental movement skills and fun based activities
incorporating elements of gymnastics, dance and
athletics will provide a solid base for their
future development.
Please note: this section will be expanded for the second
