At Herne Bay Junior School we believe that all children should enjoy and benefit from physical education and sport. We aim to improve health and well-being and promote active participation in a range of physical activities, in a safe and supportive environment.
At Herne Bay Junior School, the Governors and Headteacher believe the
purpose of the Sports Premium should be:
- To ensure that teachers offer high quality Physical Education as part of
the school curriculum and that continual professional development for
existing staff is on-going. - To build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that
improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future
years. - To provide appropriate competitive school sport opportunities for all
children who wish to take part. - To encourage children and their families to take part in sport in school.
- To identify, enthuse and engage with children and families who are less
active and therefore, less likely to choose sport and exercise as a
lifestyle choice. - To increase the number of children who take part in an after-school
sports club by offering a range of activities. - To work in partnership with other organisations and schools to maximise
the potential of the P.E. and school sport funding and make the best use
of the facilities and resources within the school grounds. - To inspire children to participate in a range of sporting activities.
