Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium:

PE and Sport is very important to us at Box. 

Intent: Physical Education at Box. 

In order for all children to achieve their full potential and to aim for our school vision of 'Plant, Nurture, Flourish, Serve,' we have developed a PE scheme of work which enables children to develop their core Physical Education skills, and enables them to participate in structured competitive activities at differing levels:

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed some of our school values such as: friendship, perseverance, truthfulness, and respect.

Quality First Wave Teaching: Intent of the PE curriculum

All children receive a broad and balanced PE curriculum as part of QFWT (Quality First wave Teaching). This is about what should be on offer for all children: the effective inclusion of all pupils in high-quality everyday personalised teaching. Such teaching will, for example, be based on clear objectives that are shared with the children and returned to at the end of the lesson; carefully explained new PE vocabulary; use of lively, interactive teaching styles and also make maximum use of visual and kinaesthetic as well as auditory/verbal learning. The objectives that are used are taken from the school’s skills and progression grid, which is taken explicitly from the National Curriculum for PE.

Implementation: The objectives that are implemented across the school's scheme of work are taken from the school’s skills and progression grid (see example in attachment below) which is taken explicitly from the National Curriculum for PE.

These skills are mapped out each term to enable children to develop their own aptitude in Physical Education.

Across the year, the children experience a broad range of curriculum activities away from more traditional games. The rationale behind this move to less traditional PE subjects is based on the context of the school and the reasoning that the vast majority of our children access local sporting clubs. Therefore, we have decided to develop a Games' curriculum that is innovate in developing activities in sports such as Handball, Dodgeball, Tennis, Basketball.
OOA and Swimming objectives are covered discretely.

One class will have a block of swimming lessons. We use our swimming provision to endeavour to see that ‘all children by the time they leave primary school are able to swim 25 metres.’ Children are assessed at the end of Year6 on whether they can swim 25 metres. If they cannot, this is highlighted early to secondary school.

OOA activities are covered by Year 6 Camp and through other enrichment activities throughout the year. All children in Year 6 have access to these OOA activities.

Intra – school competition:
As part of developing the school's values further and in order to enable children to develop opportunities to compete in competitive sport and other activities that build character, all children are given the opportunity to take part in intra-school competitions. These competitions can range from school sports day to cricket tournaments that are arranged to find a winning house team.

Inter – school competition: 
In order to enable children to develop opportunities to compete in competitive sport and other activities that build character, some children are given the opportunity to take part in Inter-school competitions. These competitions enables us to challenge those children who need the additional experience of competing against other schools. These experiences are invaluable to children to build their character, and to instil the school values of respect and friendship, as the children will experience the winning and losing feeling and know how to react in both situations.

With all that we do, we aim to see all pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

Impact: A high-quality physical education curriculum and extra-curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed some of our school values, such as: friendship, perseverance, truthfulness, and respect. 

Alongside PE lessons, school are given a small budget to use to help develop PE and Physical activity in school. In line with the DFE's new online reporting system, please see below the links to the confirmation of our school's funding allocation, the way it was spent and more importantly the impact and sustainability of PE and Sport at Box. 

Please note in May 2026, schools were told that the PE funding will cease. We are awaiting details of the funding for the academic year 2026-2027. 

2025-26 Funding Impact: 

With the additional PE Premium funding we receive, we have sought to use it to inspire our children to be 'flourishing' in the subject and to develop further experiences that they might not have the opportunity to do so. Our vision also lends itself to developing our children’s physical health and well-being and is a key aim of the use of PE primary funding.
