Education should reflect this

GOVERNMENT POLICYAcademic biasSchool League tables

Education system in the digital age

• Tradition in the system• Mr Gove’s personal beliefs• Academic focus – lack of balance• League Tables – added pressure• Not in tune with future needs of digital age pupils

– All round, balanced education– Health challenges – inactivity and obesity levels– Social cohesion– Self esteem issues

Physical activity and PE to the rescue!

PE is more important than ever before

• Cross curricular education gains • Physically engage pupils• Physical activity = health benefits• Discover alternative talents• Goal setting• Build self esteem• Hard evidence of progress – skills and fitness• Social development• Recreational and competitive activities• Develop an understanding of rules and boundaries

DfE Funding

• Pupil Premium 1• Pupil Premium 2• Sports Premium• Transition Funding• Catch Up funding

Head Teachers

Clusters/consortia

Pupil Premium Funding

Creative use of existing funding

• Schools own funds• Pupil Premium• After School Club funds (school or parents)• Playground animation funds

Case Study from Lister Primary School

Sport Premium Funding

The National Curriculum for PE

All pupils... • develop competence to excel in a broad range

of physical activities• are physically active for sustained periods of

time• engage in competitive sports and activities • lead healthy, active lives.

SP funding = two year window

A common practice

Single schoolItinerant external providers using

various random staff to deliver:PPA cover, PE, Breakfast club,

Lunchtime animation, After school clubs, representative teams.

Some CPDNo planned sustainability when

funding ends

More strategic approach

Single school Creative use of funding to embed one

selected young, enthusiastic and vocationally trained member of staff into the school. Intra school comp.

Aimed at broad range of educational benefits not just PE and sport – Mentoring and Mathletics.

Helps to up skill staff with additional CPD for school staff

Sustainable agenda

The Future

Differences with YST and PDM structure

• Strategic primary school focus not linked to secondary schools

• Accountable by performance• Bespoke relationship with individual school• Headteachers decide agenda not PDM or NGB• 12 schools max• Sustainable outcomes

Bradford opportunity

• National change:– Education and funding– PE and Sport provision: YST/PDMs; COMPASS

• Local evolution:– Consortia/clusters etc.

• Phil Wagner– Knowledge, relationships, trust

• Bradford Association of PE/Sport providers– Needs Head Teacher representation

Summary• Sport Premium funding presents a unique, short

term opportunity for two years• This money can be used to significantly enhance

physical activity, PE and sport in schools • Pupil’s all round education, health, social

development and self esteem should also benefit• Best to embed quality individuals into a school than

rely on a plethora of itinerant staff (AfPE example)• CPD and up skilling of staff also important• PE sustainability should be the aim for individual

schools and consortia/clusters

Some personal views...• Schools are about Education not Sports

development

• PE should be a relevant, powerful and compelling subject for digital age pupils

• School Sport is not PE, Sport Coaches are not PE Teachers

• Specialist vocational training is needed to supplement any coaching badges

• Trained PE Staff need to be embedded into schools: Qualified teachers/CPD/external

Thank You

• Baroness Sue Campbell, head of UK Sport and chair of the Youth Sport Trust, said that although the level of investment was welcome, it was important not to waste the funding on sports coaches "who will disappear once the money goes"."There is an issue around the quality of provision of PE in primary schools, so I hope they will think about coming together and bringing in peripatetic expertise that will work with a family of schools to build their knowledge about the subject," she said."What is less sustainable is heads buying in bits of work, through specialist coaches or similar - instead of training teachers - and then that expertise disappearing when they leave.“The worst-case scenario, she added, would be if the money "just filled a gap" for two years before a new programme was brought in with a change of government.

"THE 2012 LEGACY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE COUNTRY SPENT A FORTUNE ON THE OLYMPICS - IT WAS A HUGE EVENT AND A

TREMENDOUS SUCCESS," "WE KNOW THAT TOO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FROM OBESITY AND DON'T GET ENOUGH EXERCISE, BUT WHETHER YOU'RE YOUNG OR OLD - MORE EXERCISE AND A HEALTHIER DIET IS GOOD FOR YOUR

HEALTH, GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY AND GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY - THAT'S THE BIG LEGACY WE WANT TO SEE FROM THE OLYMPICS."

Education Select Committee inquiry into 2012 legacy. Graham Stuart, Chair May 2013

Views on sport in schools• Over 90% believe that non-competitive physical activities must be encouraged

alongside competitive activities.• 97% agreed that schools should have a minimum target of two hours PE and Sport

a week.• 69% agreed that schools should be required to monitor participation and make the

information available to parents.• 95% agreed that physical activity improves educational attainment.

• Under half of respondents (47%) agreed that a strategy focused on competitivesport will inspire inactive children to engage in sport and PE.
