National Curriculum

The National Curriculum for P.E. in KS2 states that:

Our PE Curriculum

Pupils have two hours of PE timetabled per week. P.E. at Nook Lane aims to develop the children's knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities.

We aim to expose children to a wide range of different sports and physical activities during their time at Nook Lane. These include dance, gymnastics, cross country, health and fitness, hockey netball, basketball, benchball, ultimate Frisbee, tennis, tag rugby swimming and water safety, indoor and outdoor athletics and outdoor and adventurous activities.

We are continually adapting the P.E. curriculum at Nook Lane to ensure children get a rich diet of different sports and activities. The sports and activities covered in curriculum time are supported and enriched through a wide range of sports clubs and opportunities for children to compete in a range of sporting competitions, festivals and events.

As an inclusive school we ensure that everyone takes part in P.E. where possible and we strive to remove any barriers which may stand in the way of a child's participation in curriculum and extra-curricular P.E. and sport.

Physical education at Nook Lane promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Alongside the skills, knowledge and understanding of different sports and activities, children will also gain an understanding of how physical activity effects their bodies, the importance of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle and the ways in which they can improve their health and fitness levels through physical activity and a healthy diet. Thus we enable them to make informed choices about diet and physical activity throughout their lives.

P.E. and Sport Premium for Primary Schools

Sport Premium is funding for primary schools aimed at sustainably improving the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools as well as encouraging the development of healthy, active lifestyles in all children. This year the finding has been increased and each school will now receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil. Here at Nook Lane this comes to approximately £18,530 per academic year.

Please see our action plans for an overview of how we have previously spent the P.E. and Sport Premium, its impact on our school and pupils and how we plan to spend it in the current financial year.

LINKS - School Sports Partnership

Nook Lane is part of the LINKS School Sport Partnership which is an organisation that is made up of families of schools based around several secondary schools across the city. They support and develop PE and sports within our school giving pupils and staff many opportunities to ensure the high delivery of PE lessons, and increased opportunities to take part in school sport and out of hours learning.

Our partnership with LINKS is assisted by our School Sport Coordinator (Faye Ruddlestone) and School Games Organiser (Kim Horton) as well as the other SSCos and SGOs from across Sheffield.

LINKS aims are:

Strategic Planning: To develop and implement a PE and school sport strategy, as part of school development plans, through working in partnership with key strategic organisations and providers in the area.

Primary Liaison: to improve PE and school sport programmes by establishing and developing links within and between families of schools (particularly around the KS2/3 interface).

Out of School Hours: to provide new and enhanced out of schools hours opportunities for all young people in the partnership, including out of school hours learning, non-competitive participation and competition.

School to Community: to increase all young people's participation in community sport through creating and strengthening links with sports clubs, leisure facilities and community providers.

Coaching and Leadership: to provide training, support and deployment opportunities in leadership, coaching and officiating for senior pupils, adults other than teachers (AOTTs) and teachers.

Raising Standards: to raise standards of pupil's achievement in all aspects of their school life, through increased participation and improved performance, motivation and attitudes.

Sainsbury's School Games Mark

Over the last 4 years, Nook Lane Junior School has significantly increased children's participation in clubs, extra-curricular activities and inter-school competitions, qualifying for a range of city-wide and county-wide sporting events.

This impressive work has been recognised by the Sainsbury's School Games Mark, a government-led awards scheme. Nook Lane Junior School was awarded the BRONZE level in the academic year 2013/14, the GOLD level for 2014/15 and 2015/16 and the SILVER level for 2016/17 and 2017/18.

The School Games Mark was launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community. Schools in England are able to assess themselves across bronze, silver and gold levels of the Mark.

In order to achieve any level of the Sainsbury's School Games Mark, schools must meet the following prerequisites:

Participation

• a system in place to track young people's participation in the Sainsbury's School Games;
• opportunities that attract less active young people to participate in physical activity;

Competition

• run a Sainsbury's School Games Day as the culmination of a year-round competition programme;
• provide a calendar of competition that demonstrates opportunities for young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) to take part in competitions;
• display a notice board promoting Sainsbury's School Games activity.

To achieve GOLD LEVEL, a school must meet all of the prerequisites, as well as the following:

Participation

• provide all students with two hours of physical education per week (within the curriculum only); and have extra curriculum provision in addition to this;
• engage at least 50% of students (20% for special schools) in extra-curricular sporting activity every week;

The provision of support for talented young sports people

1. 1. Secondary criteria: offer talented young sports people specific support to help them to balance their sporting commitments with school and home life;
2. 2. Primary and special criteria: offer talented young sports people specific support to help them to develop their sporting potential;

Competition

• Use the Sainsbury's School Games formats to provide the opportunity for both boys and girls to take part in the appropriate level of competition.

Swimming at Nook Lane

As part of our Year 4 curriculum, all children are given the opportunity to learn to swim.

We take the children to Hillsborough Leisure Centre where they receive 9 one hour swimming sessions. We aim for all pupils leaving our school to be able to swim at least 25m.

Please see our 2019/20 Swimming Results to see the progress of the 2019/20 Y4s.

Cycling at Nook Lane

Bikeability Cycle Proficiency: As part of our Year 5 curriculum, all children are asked to take part in Bikeability, which is cycling proficiency for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today's roads. For the pupils participating, we aim for them to ALL to complete their level 1 bikeability training (learning to control and master their bike in an environment away from cars and traffic). We also aim for as many as possible to complete their level 2 bikeability training (which gives them a real cycling experience, on small roads, so that they are able to deal with traffic on short journeys such as cycling to school).

Bike It Project!: We are happy to announce, that we are now taking part in an exciting new project called Bike It, which is run by Sustrans, the country's leading sustainable transport charity, who help pupils to be able to cycle to and from school.

Over the next few years, Bike It will promote cycling in our school in the following ways:

• By making sure our school has the facilities needed by pupils who want to cycle to school, including a secure cycle storage.
• By working with the local council to provide additional cycle training to help children in our school ride safely and feel more confident on their bikes.
• By organising promotional activities and events to encourage our pupils to cycle to school.
• By involving local shops, clubs and other organisations to help us.
• By working with our wonderful parents so that they can help support this project.

Our aims for the Bike It project is to increase the number of children cycling safely to school, reducing the number of cars around the school, making the neighbourhood a quieter, safer and less congested place.

The Bike It project will be providing lots of opportunities for parents to get involved in the various activities that will run throughout school and, can even train them to become cycle instructors!! If you are interested in helping out, please see Mrs Lindley (PE Co-ordinator) or Mr Arbon-Davis (Headteacher).
