How we have used the money

‘Sports Days’ at Oakwood Youth Challenge – summer 2015 and summer 2016 – £900

Water Sports – 6 week course of water sports activities at Wokingham Waterside Centre – summer 2015 – £960

Outdoor physical challenges – 4 week course at Oakwood Youth Challenge – autumn 2015 – £560

How we plan to use the money for 2017/18

During the academic year we plan to build on the successes achieved at the Oakwood Youth Challenge, and expand our provision to cover watersports at Dinton Pastures and ice skating at the John Nike center.

Furthermore, we will develop our teachers’ skill-sets by having external PE tutors on site to run PE sessions. Dependent upon the pupil, as and when it is safe to do so, we will also attend Carnival Swimming Pool with the intention of implementing the Water Safety training and achieving confident swimming to a minimum of 25m.

Where we expect to see improvement

A broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils, for example attendance at the local Golf driving range
To enhance the profile of PE and sport across the school to enrich the pupil experience and lead to whole-school improvement
To see increased participation in competitive sport and physical activities.

Ofsted commented;

“You care deeply about the pupils and are determined to make sure that your school provides the nurturing environment that they need.”

“Pupils are happy at your school, they say that there is always someone to talk to and that their views are valued. Parents and carers praise the improvements in their children’s behaviour and attitudes to learning.”

“You and your team are acutely aware of the importance of ensuring that every pupil is safeguarded from harm.”
