Sports Funding
At St Laurence we aim to provide children with high quality PE lessons and a wide range of opportunities to compete in competitive school sports. We also promote healthy active lifestyles through the enjoyment of PE. Through engaging and exciting lessons they will develop the determination to excel in a broad range of PE activities. Children will also be given the opportunity, through engaging in competitive activities, to develop skills, such as teamwork, independent learning and resilience, which they can transfer into other areas of their learning.
In recent years we have been working closely with the sports coaching company, Elite Youth Sports. Working with them has helped us to expand the variety of sports activities on offer, promoting inclusivity and increasing the overall quality of our lessons. They have assisted us with our extra-curricular lunchtime and after school clubs, allowing us to enhance our curriculum.
Sports Premium Funding
At St Laurence School we welcomed the Government’s announcement to provide ring fenced funding to primary schools. This sport premium funding is aimed at helping schools to improve provision of physical education, competitive school sport and healthy active lifestyles. At St Laurence we are committed to using this resource to develop staff knowledge and confidence to deliver high quality, engaging PE lessons and provide a wide range of extra-curricular sports clubs for children.
In the academic year 2024 - 2025 we continued to employ Elite Sports to deliver high quality PE lessons to all year groups. The coaches offer a range of extra clubs in addition to PE lessons, which give the children the opportunity to participate in different sports. In previous years we have had a visit from Kidz Fit, where each year group took part in a workshop aimed at developing their understanding of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. As well as learning about nutrition, muscle development and the impact of exercise on the organs of the body, the children participated in a range of fun and physical activities. We had a visit from Helen Glover the GB Rower. Helen gave a very inspirational talk to the whole school which inspired so many of the children and also visits from the tallest basket player in the world and Mike the BMX man! One of our very own parents took part in the World's Toughest Row across the Atlantic Ocean. Felicity Ashley spoke before the event and then returned after the event to talk to the children.
