Background

The Department of Education is providing all primary schools with additional funding to improve the provision of PE and sport. The funding calculation is based on the number of children at the school.

For the financial year 2019-2020, Bishop Gilpin received £19,501 in 2 instalments.

As a school, we have allocated the funds on the continuation and expansion of physical education,  extra-curricular sports clubs and competition opportunities and the general fitness of our children, led by Alec Smail and Richard Gulston (Pioneer Sports Academy)

We continue our membership with the Merton School sports partnership which has allowed us to provide the opportunity for children to experience a wide range of inter-school competitive sports. The school has fielded A, B and C teams in all cluster competitions offered by the MSSP and have progressed into further competitions at borough, country and London level.

The lunchtime clubs run by the Sports Specialist, have prepared our children to take part in the competitions run by the MSSP.  This has given our children more confidence and ability to compete against other schools, and to improve their own standard of sporting ability.

We continue to work with Ricards Lodge, our neighbouring secondary school, who allows access to their astroturf facilities at the cost of an annual maintenance fee. This has enabled us to provide our children with enough space to deliver a high quality PE curriculum and outstanding extra curricular clubs.

We continue to audit staff and identify areas of need for CPD.  

Staff attend CPD offered by the MSSP and this has led to continuing improvement in the quality of PE delivered by all staff.
