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 Lark Hall Infant and Nursery 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 Lark Hall. 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 Lark Hall, we endeavour to participate in sports inclusive to all, as well as creating a love of physical education for life.
Furthermore, at Lark Hall, we have a range of sporting opportunities for our pupils to take part in. Sports day, Mini-Olympics and other school events encourage children to be active. A range of competitive events and non-competitive events are also available for children. These opportunities begin in EYFS where physical development is a prime area of learning. Providing children with a range of activities at such a young age, fosters not only their love of sport but also allows them to develop crucial gross motor skills. Finding a sport or activity children love is our aspiration at Lark Hall. 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.
