Sports and PE Funding
Physical Education develops a child’s knowledge, skill and understanding. Thus, enabling them to perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. Our intent at Flax Hill Junior Academy is to provide children with a positive attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. This is so they can make informed choices about physical activities throughout their lives. Sports Premium is used to fund additional and sustainable improvements. It is reviewed continuously to offer the best opportunities for children at Flax Hill. Moreover, it is our aim to provide children with a vast range of sporting opportunities. This occurs through the lessons we teach, the after-school clubs we provide and the intra and inter-school competitions that we participate in. At Flax Hill, we endeavour to participate in sports inclusive to all, as well as creating a love of physical education for life.
Furthermore, at Flax Hill, we are proud of our successes in sport. It is our belief that through entering a range of events across Tamworth and Staffordshire, we are providing children with opportunities to reach their full potential. Each year, Flax Hill has represented Tamworth at the Staffordshire School Games in a variety of sports. We are also committed to competing in the Tamworth Swimming Gala, which is held annually. Although we recognise the importance of providing opportunities for the children to take part in competitive events, we also fully understand that this is not what all children desire. At Flax Hill, we participate in and run a range of non-competitive events with benefits and rewards on offer for all. Finding a sport or activity children love is our aspiration at Flax Hill. By doing this, it will make children ready for a physically active lifestyle when they come to leave whilst encouraging and teaching respect for others within a safe environment.
