Sports Premium Expenditure

At Lozells we firmly believe that all our children have the right to lead active, healthy fun lifestyles.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

This means that schools should use the premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
• Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

1. The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity - the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
2. The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
4. Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
5. Increased participation in competitive sport

Swimming

Swimming is an important priority within our curriculum at Lozells not least as being able to self-rescue and swim competently saves lives. We are currently working to raise our children's swimming achievement and offer sessions for Year 6, Year 5 and Year 4.
