PE and Sport Premium for Hillside Community Primary School
At Hillside, we are committed to ensuring every child has access to high-quality physical education and a broad range of sporting opportunities. Our P.E funding is being used to support our teachers in delivering engaging and effective P.E sessions, helping to develop pupils’ skills, confidence, and enjoyment of physical activity.
In addition, we are using this funding to provide our children with a wide variety of sporting experiences, including participation in local competitions and extra swimming lessons. These opportunities aim to promote health, teamwork, and a lifelong love of sport.
Miss Ball also teaches an array of extracurricular clubs during lunch and after school focusing on Multi-Skill development and intervention for our KS1 children and application of skills learn in our school PE curriculum in games clubs for KS2.
The trim trail also provides our children with the opportunity for having time outdoors for their Mental Health and Well-being.
Inclusivity of physical activity at Hillside
We continue to work with SHARES and the West Lancs School Sports Partnership to access a wide range of sporting competitions. We have also used SHARES for CPD training of our staff.
It has also been a target at Hillside to access inter-school competitions for our children whom have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, identified as Pupil premium and increased participation of girls in physical activity. The aim is to achieve increased motivation and inclusion of competitive physical activity for all children at Hillside.
This academic year, 2025-26, a broad range of our children at Hillside have participated in inter and intra school competitions and sporting activities. At Hillside, we strive to give a wide range of children to participate in competitive sport for their experience and development. We believe in inclusive practice for all groups of children.
During Autumn Term 2025, children from Hillside have attended multiple inclusive competitions and tournaments:
- KS2 Girls' Football Tournament
- KS2 Bowling Competition
At Hillside, we have increased the opportunity for our children to access extra swimming lessons. We now have four of our classes attending swimming lessons each week in some half terms.
The impact of this has been fantastic and most recently, the children who represented our school at the SHARES swimming gala showed great skill.
We also are raising the profile of PE through the purchase of the Lancashire PE Passport App used for planning, evidencing and assessment. We have also purchased a new PE board located in the school hall to promote physical activity events and clubs to motivate and raise the aspirations of our children to be involved in physical activity and competitions.
At Hillside we are proud to announce that School Games is integral to our Physical Education, School Sport and Physical Activity Programme and we provide a wide variety of Intra and Inter School Competitions and Experiences and are constantly encouraging all pupils to achieve their personal best and to understand the benefits of a healthy active lifestyle. The Chief Medical Officer guidelines are that all children and young people should engage in moderate to vigorous intensity exercise for an average of 60 minutes per day.
