Sports Premium

At Fairholme School we believe PE and sport play an important role in the education of every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better.

Through PE and sporting activities, our children learn to develop the important qualities of discipline, resilience, communication, team work, and ambition, leading to improved concentration, attitude, and academic achievement.

We have formed strong links with Middlesex County Cricket Club.  Read more about cricket coaching by Middlesex County Cricket Club at Fairholme - Chance To Shine - here.

Swimming at Fairholme Primary School

As part of the National Curriculum, Key Stage Two children are expected to have an opportunity to learn to swim.  At Fairholme Primary School we build this into the Year 3 PE curriculum.  Children will visit Hanworth Air Park Leisure Centre once a week for a half an hour swimming lesson for the duration of one term during the academic year.

A requirement of receiving Sports Premium funding from the government is that we report how well our Year 6 children can swim.  To do this we ask the children the following questions: -

Q1 Can you swim confidently for a distance of 25 metres (one length of the pool)?

Q2 Can you use a range of strokes (breast stroke, back stroke, butterfly stoke etc.)?

Q3 Could you safely rescue yourself if you got into difficulty in a pool, the sea or a river?

Our current Year 6 children answered as follows: -

Q1 – 65% yes

Q2 – 69% yes

Q3 – 61% yes

It is our vision that all Fairholme pupils will:

• participate in a wide range of physical, creative and aesthetic settings
• develop generic skills, knowledge and understanding, become physically literate and in most cases have their first experiences of sport
• be enthused and be inspired to participate and develop a life long love of physical activity, sport and exercise.

 So our aims and objectives are to:

• Provide more opportunities for children to participate in sport and try new sports
• Engage children within competitions
• Create greater links with outside sports clubs & organisations
• Guide and give pathways for gifted and talented children.
