PE and Sport Premium

At Francis Baily, we thrive ourselves on being better every day. Our school values highly reflect how our pupils take part in PE. They show curiosity and interest in new sports and activities, they show respect as teammates, they aspire to be the best they can be and look up to sporting role models, and finally they show great resilience in all activity they do.
We have many opportunities at Francis Baily, through our indoor and outdoor PE sessions with either teachers or qualified sports coaches, through extra-curricular sporting clubs such as football, netball or athletics etc.
As a school, we enter a large amount of fixtures, tournaments and associations in and around Berkshire. We aspire to take as many pupils as possible and offer all children an opportunity. Whilst we do understand that not every child can attend every fixture representing the school, we do want children to be exposed to these opportunities.
This page is to advise you of local clubs and events going on, point you in the direction of our Your School Games Page which keeps you up to date with our latest blog and give you the information regarding the PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
Our School PE Curriculum
Each class will have an indoor PE lesson and an outdoor PE lesson a week. The indoor lesson will be a part of our Real PE Scheme, taught through Create Development online platform, Jasmine. Real PE is split into six focus cogs; personal, social, cognitive, creative, applying physical and health & fitness. Please see below the curriculum maps for each year group.
The outdoor session will be skills based for Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, building into sports in Key Stage 2 such as football, rugby, netball, athletics, tennis etc. Please see below our PE journey.
