Sports Development
At Herne View Church of England Primary School we recognise the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles and high quality physical activity for our pupils. We want to offer our pupils a breadth of experience that will encourage them to enjoy sports, develop community links and understand the importance of physical activity for a healthy life. Hopefully, if we can set the foundations then our pupils will.
Sport and PE at Herne View 2024 – 25
This academic year has been another vibrant and successful one for sport, with an increase in the number of competitions our pupils have been able to access. Through partnerships with local secondary schools such as Holyrood and Wadham, as well as organisations including SASP and the Rotary, we have participated in a wide range of events. Our core aim has been to maximise pupil involvement, particularly by encouraging participation from children who had not previously represented the school. This inclusive approach has helped introduce pupils to a variety of sports and activities available within the local community. Alongside competitive opportunities, we continue to promote the School Games Values, recognising pupils’ efforts and achievements through weekly assemblies and awards.
The Sports Premium funding has played a vital role in enabling this growth, not only by supporting pupil participation but also by facilitating staff development. We actively encourage staff to attend CPD sessions delivered by external agencies, such as cricket training provided by the Somerset Foundation and tag rugby workshops led by local clubs. These opportunities allow staff to enhance their skills and bring fresh ideas and activities into their teaching, ultimately enriching the PE curriculum for all pupils. By investing in both pupil engagement and staff expertise, the funding ensures a sustainable and inclusive sporting culture across the school. Please see the attached files for how our funding has been spent this last year. We also attach our previous and next sports development plans to share our next steps for sport at Herne View.
