Sports Premium Funding

Leigh Academy Oaks is a learning place where we want everyone to succeed and thrive.

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games gave us a once in a lifetime opportunity to inspire the nation to enjoy sport and develop healthy life styles. The Government is determined to secure a significant and lasting legacy from the Games and introduced new funding arrangements for schools from September 2013 to improve the quality of sport and PE for all children in primary schools.

Leigh Academy Oaks 2018 – 2019 allocation was £17,880.

We are using this to enhance the quality and breadth of our PE provision for LOA children by:

  • Employing our own specialist PE coach to improve the quality of PE teaching and learning.
  • Increasing participation in school sport by running additional after school PE clubs.
  • Providing opportunities for more children to participate in sporting tournaments and fixtures.
  • Organising healthy schools week in the summer term.

We are confident that many pupils will benefit as a result of this enhanced funding.

The LAT Oaks swimming programme has changed this year and gives every child in Yr 4, 5 & 6 the opportunity to swim for two terms in the year.  This has had an impact on our results with 81% of Yr 6 achieving 25m in the pool, both front crawl and backstroke Of the 81%, 77% of those children achieved 50m and more, with two children gaining 1000m.

Maidstone Leisure Centre offered our high ability swimmers the opportunity to participate in a Water Safety and Rescue Certificate which was a new initiative and we had a fantastic pass rate of 100%.
