At The Hayes Primary School we believe PE and Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement (Be The Best We Can Be), a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. We have welcomed the Government’s announcement to extend the Sport Premium to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils. The Government is spending over £450 million on this funding over the 6 academic years 2013 - 2019. We are committed to using this resource in developing high quality PE lessons, alongside greater opportunities for sporting competitions and clubs for all children.
How we are using it at The Hayes Primary School
Our commitment to providing children with high quality competition access was recognised with a Gold School Games Mark after external validation at the end of summer of 2019.
The Hayes is a Healthy School which is committed to delivering high quality and consistent PE and sport provision to all our children. This enables them to improve their health, fitness, welfare and wellbeing, their understanding of sport, teamwork and citizenship. We also promote an inclusive ethos, where all pupils enjoy participating in sport; empowering them to become the best they can be. Some of the many ways we have used the sports funding at The Hayes during 2018-19:
Additionally, The Hayes is part of the Croydon Schools Sports Partnership (CSSP) which provides advice and training for teachers and opportunities for pupils to participate in inter-school sports competitions. This year, pupils have also participated in the Croydon Schools Football League, a number of cross country events and the Croydon athletics competition. We have used coaches from Pro Direct to train the boy’s, girl's and mixed football team and accompany them to matches within the league. Our boys and mixed team came 1st in their Croydon League.
As a result of increased sporting participation, The Hayes pupils will have improved health and well being, whilst also benefitting from all the other positive values that sport promotes. In addition to encouraging increased physical activity among pupils, we will ensure that we teach children about healthy lifestyles.
