Sports Premium & Sporting Provision

Physical Education

Dove Bank Primary School has long recognised the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of its children. We also acknowledge that a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum and extra-curricular activities have a positive impact on concentration, attitude and achievement.

Dove Bank Primary School is committed to ensure that all pupils receive a minimum of 2 hours of PE per week, delivered by well-trained and enthusiastic teacher.

Regular staff training opportunities are provided for teachers and TAs to keep them up to date with new initiatives.

The school participates enthusiastically in a range of local sports competitions and events against other schools in North West Leicestershire.

Sports Day

As part of our Sports Day, as well as organising a ‘House Team’ Carousel of activities, we also run competitive races for Key Stage 1 and 2.

House Competitions Week

We also run an annual House Competitions Week in June, to further promote competitive sport within our own school. This special week is an opportunity for pupils to compete in a range of sporting activities including football, Hi-5, Dodgeball and the Mini-Olympics, as well as some more unconventional activities such as Blindfold Penalty Shootout!

It enables them to value the importance of teamwork as well as individual effort.

Awards

We have achieved Sainsbury’s Silver Quality Mark for Sports Provision.
