Primary PE Funding
Sporting Influence PE Funding programmes work alongside the school to improve their provision of PE and Sport across the whole school.
We are currently in our sixth year of delivering these packages to schools across the West and North Yorkshire area and have over thirty schools that we work with on a weekly basis.
All work is performed by highly experienced and qualified PE staff and Sports Coaches. Evidence is collected throughout the year and collated by Sporting Influence to present to inspectors, governors and any interested parents. After a consultation with the Head teacher we sit down and discuss what is needed in the school and the time they want spent on each particular sport or teacher.
Typically a Head teacher would speak to staff and find out where they lacked confidence and ideas, this might be an NQT worried about gymnastics or invasion games or an experienced teacher who needs new ideas to inspire them and change the drills they have done for years.
All of our PE lessons are based around our five social skills.

The new DFE funding states that the money should be used as a tool for whole school improvement:
What we Deliver
The Continued Professional Development Model
Phase 1:
This model has received fantastic feedback and is a really thorough and highly beneficial programme. We work alongside the class teacher over a minimum of 6 hours which involves observing, followed by team teaching, leading and finally planning a session and receiving written feedback. Lesson plans and resources are provided to the teachers for them to follow and sustain what they have learnt. A typical six week CPD evidence pack would include: session plans, a teacher feedback sheet highlighting what they have enjoyed and learnt and a written lesson observation.
Phase 2:
This is more of a consultancy role which involves teachers taking responsibility for teaching and planing the sessions using the experience and confidence they have gained from observing in phase 1 with Sporting Influence delivering. Schools buy into a smaller package which involves Sporting Influence meeting with staff at the start and end of each term, which provides a good opportunity to share resources and session plans, discuss the sports and activities they will cover and ask any questions or settle any worries regarding the terms PE. At the end of each term, the meeting reflects on the work that has been delivered. Sporting Influence also support schools that we have worked in over a longer period with our new session plans to help with planning and preparation.
The new DFE funding states that the money should be spent on increasing the confidence of all staff in teaching PE:
Competitions For All (Intra/Inter School Competition)
A structure of Intra (in school) competitions that follow the sports that have been taught in that particular term. Schools are asked to encourage every student to take part. House points are awarded for taking part, winning matches, sportsmanship and teamwork.
We also deliver an Inter (out of school) competition between schools at Harrogate High School, so that the pupils get to play against talented performers from nearby schools whilst using high quality sports facilities. Sporting Influence also offer specific Gifted and Talented sessions within schools, these can be a variety of sports.
The new DFE funding states that the money should be spent on more children participating in sport, playing a wider variety of sports and increased participation of competitive sport:
Intervention & Wellness Groups
We hold intervention and wellness groups to engage everyone in PE and sports. These groups can be for a variety of different reasons such as obesity and health, social development, physical development and skill development.
The new DFE funding states that the money should be spent on the engagement of ALL pupils in regular physical activity:
PPA Cover
We also offer PPA cover to give students a chance to participate in high quality PE whilst your teaching staff have an opportunity to work on classroom based work.
(Sports Premium funding should not be spent on PPA cover).
Sports Numeracy
Our Sport Numeracy intervention focuses solely on the ‘Number’ strand of the national curriculum with a range of colour coded session plans for Years 1 – 6 with accompanying question sheets. Our aim is to boost engagement, enjoyment and attainment through fast paced Active Learning sessions. Being physically active during a maths intervention or club helps children retain information better AND provides additional exercise that builds upon the 2 hours of PE they already receive in a week.
KS1 Themed Lessons
The Sporting Influence themed program of work has been devised to fit in with the KS1 National Curriculum, ensuring that all outcomes are met. Instead of having a single lesson focus, all sessions compromise of elements of
- Object Control
- Locomotion
- Stability
The use of a theme or story not only captures the imagination of the children, but it disguises their learning, ensuring that they don’t get bored and ENJOY the lesson. It is vital at this early stage to motivate, engage and inspire children in their physical education journey so as they pass through school they find their area of interest and continue on a physically active journey through their lives.
