PE and Sport Premium

We are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding provided by the UK Government to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish this information about how we have used the additional funding, including details about our sporting provision alongside curriculum details. This will ensure that parents/carers and others are made fully aware of the PE and sporting provision at St. Andrew’s.

Sport and Physical Education

The school addresses the National Curriculum requirements for PE exceptionally well. All pupils undertake gymnastics, dance, games, athletics, swimming and outdoor adventurous activities. We have an outdoor adventure assault course, trim trail and climbing apparatus as well as extensive grounds for orienteering and outdoor learning. We make full use of our sports field and two playgrounds. We also have a heated outdoor swimming pool which is used by all classes from April. Whilst we teach swimming in our own pool during the warmer months, we also arrange deep water swimming taught by specialist coaches to Year 5 pupils at Mount Kelly in Tavistock. 

The school takes part regularly in a variety of intra-school activities such as sports day, swimming gala and a scoot and run/triathlon. They also take part in inter-school competitions against other schools locally and regionally. We have links to Tavistock College, University College St Mark and St John, Tavistock RFC, Tavistock Athletics Club, Plymouth Marjon Hockey and Plymouth Patriots Basketball team. Qualified coaches from OCRA support our school taking skills sessions and after-school sports clubs. All coaches and staff have the overarching aim to develop in students a broad base of knowledge, skills and critical understanding in the context of sports coaching, teaching physical education and sport development and leadership.

Children in Years 5 and 6 have residential visits each year and Year 4 experience adventurous activity days. We actively promote co-operation and teamwork as well as personal enjoyment of physical activity on all residential visits.
