At Buntingsdale Primary School we believe that the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision is important, in order to increase participation and help pupils develop healthy lifestyles, not only now, but to enable the development of skills and interests that will be carried into the future.
Sport Premium is an amount of money which the government has agreed to allocate to schools for an academic year. The funding amount received by schools is based upon the number of children of primary age at the school. The Sport Premium must be used to:
Increase the quality & breadth of PE & Sport provision, and increase participation in PE & Sport
At Buntingsdale, our P.E. and Sport Leader is responsible for developing sport and effective use of Sport Premium Funding. We welcome the additional funding, which will further enhance our provision and provide additional opportunities for increased participation.
Please see the attached documents to see how we have utilised the Sports Premium funding in the past years to maintain and further improve our provision of PE and Sport. Below you can also access the plan for the current academic year.

2024 Competitions
Archery March 2024
During March we had three teams compete in an inter schools archery competition. There were 41
teams involved and we are very pleased to announce that we came 7th! A huge achievement for our
small school we believe. The children used two boards, one being the traditional archery board and
another a jigsaw style with various points in each jigsaw piece. They had 5 arrows to use with each
board with their scores being added together to give a final score per child. These scores were then
combined to give a team score.

The boys were placed first in the chest push task and overall were placed 5th, out of 11 schools.
PE News 2022.
During the pandemic we were unable to take part in competitions in the usual way but we did offer children tasks to join in with at home as part of the virtual sporting competitions over a six week period. Each week the children were given a different task linked to a school sport to do at home and encouraged to upload their videos, photos and results of these which were then submitted to Energize Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. We had a few children placed winning T shirts, medals and certificates over the course of the six weeks which was a great success for such a small school. Well done to all the parents and children working hard at home to do these challenges.
For precautionary reasons we decided not to restart entering physical competitions until after the February half term, our first competition being gymnastics in March which can be held internally in school with an external judge coming in to mark the children’s routines. Following that we intend to enter an archery competition in April, again judged by an external judge but in our own school premises. After that we will start to enter competitions off site, the first of which will be dodgeball in April 2022.

Congratulations also to Josh McCloy who came third in the boys year one race and Mia Tokai who came fifth in the girls year two race.

Such wonderful results and great to see how much we are improving in this area since introducing the daily mile to all classes.

Their scores were combined to give an overall team score. We were placed 5th out of 11 teams which is an achievement we are very proud of. Well done to all four children!
On Thursday 11th October we had a very exciting and calming day in school. We split into our house teams to work on a carousel of activities to help boost our well being and mental health. We worked with Sasha from Hoolanation to develop our resilience, made healthy fruit salads, spent a relaxing hour using mindfulness techniques and stretched our bodies with some challenging yoga moves.
