    PRIMARY PE & SPORTS PREMIUM STATEMENT Background - The primary school sport premium investment goes direct to primary school Head Teachers and is designed to support improvements in the quality and depth of PE and school sport. In 2017/18 the amount schools receive each year has doubled. Key Indicators - The Department for Education vision is that all pupils leaving primary school are physically literate and have the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport. The objective is to achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport that delivers high quality provision of a balanced and holistic PE and school sport offer. There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across: 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 the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils increased participation in competitive sport Funding - Individual schools will receive circa £16000-18000 per annum (depending on the number of pupils) which they can use to support these outcomes through various options including; staff CPD, employing specialists to work alongside teachers, cluster work with other schools and partnerships, transport, equipment, hall and pool hire etc.

    Richard Lander School Bulletin

    RICHARD LANDER SCHOOL BULLETIN 12th October 2018 Message from the Headteacher Dear Parents The first half term has been characterised by lots of success on the sporting front. Perhaps the finest moment this term has been the crowning of our Greenpower team as international Greenpower champions for the second year. This is the result of a years’ worth of racing, involving over 600 cars nationally and internationally. Local and regional heats determined the starting line-up of the finals and we were delighted to be starting the final races in pole position, with our car performing most consistently over the season. After two races in quite trying conditions, our team emerged victorious and we held on to the title which we won last year. Well done to all students who took part and to the staff who have given up so much time to support this: Mr Lloyd-King (lead member of staff), Mr Merrick and Ms Whitfield. A couple of further points: We have had a few inclement days recently and are aware that some students do not wear a waterproof jacket to school. Some students wear a regular hoodie over their school uniform, but this is not sufficient if it is raining. Please can parents ensure their children always come to school wearing a waterproof jacket Some parents have enquired recently as to what homework their children are being issued. Can I refer parents to my bulletin message at the start of term, which can be found on the school website. Parents can access all homework for their children on the Show My Homework website.

  • Cornwall Schools' Shared Designated Areas

    Cornwall Schools' Shared Designated Areas

    Information Classification: PUBLIC Cornwall Schools’ Shared Designated Areas Background Cornwall Council has divided Cornwall into geographical areas called ‘designated areas’ which are each served by a specific school or schools. Designated areas assist the Council in ensuring there are enough school places and are also used to determine entitlement to school transport. Please note that the designated school for an address may not always be the one nearest to that address. All designated areas can be viewed online: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/education-and- learning/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/designated-areas/ Please be aware that not all schools include ‘living in the designated area’ as a priority in their oversubscription criteria (the criteria that will be used to decide who should be allocated places when there are more applications than places available). However, entitlement to transport to all schools is determined by Cornwall Council with regard to whether the school is in the designated area for a child’s home address or is their nearest school. In some towns in Cornwall, more than one school may be designated for an address. These are called 'shared designated areas'. These towns and the schools that are included in the shared area, as defined on the Cornwall Council mapping system (see link above), are listed in this document.
