PE and Sport Premium

PE at Broomhill Junior School

At Broomhill Junior School we believe that all children should enjoy the lifelong benefits that come from sport. Our PE provision across the school is delivered and designed with the aim to foster this within all pupils as well as ensuring that pupils receive the PE entitlement as set out in the National Curriculum 2014 as well as other experiences and opportunities that best meet the learning and development needs of the children in our school.

Here, we strongly believe that physical activity and PE has the power to develop, improve and support physical, mental, emotional and social well-being, helping to develop important life and leadership skills. The Youth Sport Trust states that increased daily activity and access to high quality PE and sport leads to improved physical, social, cognitive and emotional wellbeing. The PE and physical activity that is delivered across the school has a positive, exciting approach to healthy and active lifestyles, which helps to develop a lifelong habit of participation in sport. As a result, there is increased progress, achievement and attainment as well as the gaining of skills for life. It is these skills for life, which are particularly important for the pupils at Broomhill.

In Physical Education at Broomhill Junior School, teachers provide suitable learning opportunities for all children by matching the challenge of the task to the ability of the child. We achieve this through a range of differentiation strategies:

Setting common tasks that are open-ended and can have a variety of results
Setting tasks of appropriate levels, where all children are challenged to improve according to their individual ability
Providing a range of challenge through the provision of different high quality resources

Please take a look at our Physical Education skills progression ladder here to see how it develops throughout our school.

Our Intent - What We Want For Our Children

At Broomhill Junior School, our PE curriculum is designed to develop physically literate, confident children who have the knowledge, skills and motivation to lead active, healthy lives. We are committed to ensuring that PE is a subject where all children, regardless of ability or need, feel successful, included, and challenged appropriately.

Our curriculum covers all areas of the National Curriculum for PE—games, gymnastics, dance, athletics, and swimming—with over 20 sporting activities throughout the year. We follow the GetSet4PE scheme, tailored to meet our pupils' needs while ensuring clear progression from Year 3 to Year 6.

We believe PE is essential for our pupils' physical, social, emotional and mental health. PE develops not just physical skills, but also teamwork, resilience, leadership, fair play and respect—preparing our pupils for success in their next stage of education and beyond.

Our Implementation - How We Teach PE

Our curriculum follows clear progression: Learn → Apply → Refine → Apply more effectively. In Years 3-4, pupils focus on developing and securing fundamental skills (e.g., passing, dribbling, striking) and applying them in simple games. In Years 5-6, pupils refine and combine skills with greater control, apply them in more competitive situations, and develop tactical awareness and decision-making.

From 2026-2027, following the increase of space, we're reimplementing an exciting new whole-school focus approach where all classes study the same PE area at the same time each term. This means every child across the school will be learning Gymnastics in Term 1, Dance in Term 2, Fitness in Term 3, Dodgeball in Term 4, Badminton in Term 5, and Tennis in Term 6. Year 3/4 and Year 5/6 also study additional sport-specific units tailored to their age and stage of development. Swimming continues weekly for Year 5 pupils throughout the year.

Why this approach?

Shared learning experiences across year groups, building a strong sporting community
Targeted CPD from subject leaders and external experts focused on one area at a time
Inter-school competitions in the sport children are currently learning
Whole-school assemblies celebrating achievements and exploring role models and venues linked to each sport
Enhanced progression as staff expertise deepens in each area through focused professional development

Inclusion at the Heart of Our PE

Adaptations for vulnerable pupils are systematically embedded into every lesson using the STEP principle (Space, Task, Equipment, People). Physical activities and skills are adapted to ensure full participation through modified equipment (lighter balls, larger targets, shorter distances), adapted rules (extra touches in ball games, reduced playing area size), changed starting positions, and alternative roles (scorer, referee, coach, equipment manager).

We proactively remove barriers for all pupils:

Spare PE kit provided so pupils are never excluded if they forget kit
All after-school clubs are free for all pupils
Our school minibus allows us to attend events without cost to families
We don't assume prior experience and explicitly teach rules of games and how to use equipment

Celebrating Our Gold Schools Games Mark

Broomhill Junior School has been awarded the prestigious Gold School Games Mark for three consecutive years (2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26). This national award recognises schools that demonstrate outstanding provision in competitive school sport and physical activity.

For our children, this means:

Access to a wide range of high-quality competitive opportunities
Increased participation in sport and physical activity
Recognition that our PE provision supports teamwork, resilience, leadership, fair play and respect
A commitment to inclusion, ensuring all children feel successful and appropriately challenged

PE and Sport Premium Funding

The school receives additional funding to support the development of Physical Education and Sport (Sport Premium). This money is in addition to the curriculum funding for PE and Sport from the main school budget.

At Broomhill we are continuously using the funding to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity - the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
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

2025-2026 PE and Sport Premium Spending

Broomhill Junior School received £18,810 in PE and Sport Premium funding for 2025-2026. We invested this funding across key areas including staff CPD and swimming training, extra-curricular opportunities, equipment and resources, membership and subscription fees, School Games Organiser network activities, and external school sports competitions. We targeted spending to provide or improve opportunities for pupils with SEND, pupils with long-term medical conditions, girls' access to PE and extra-curricular sport, and disadvantaged pupils.
