It was important we continued this in the academic year 2023-2024 to continue supporting children who missed out on swimming when swimming pools were closed.

Participation in the dance festival 2024

Raised confidence, an opportunity our pupils wouldn't usually be given and pupils showed determination in working towards an end goal.  

This will go ahead again next year.

Boys participation in the local authority's football league

Children given the opportunity to participate in a competitive event against other children in the local authority.

This will be expanded next year, Ridgeway will enter a boys football team and a girls football team into the local authority's league.

Sports leaders leading sport days for nursery, reception, KS1 and Lower key stage 2.

Developing the ability to lead children of different ages and to develop their communication styles.

This to be expanded next year to include sports leaders organising orienteering activities for key stage one pupils.

External sports coaching delivered as CPD for staff and to ensure pupils receive the highest quality PE lessons

Increased motivation for pupils, staff confidence increased as a result of observing skilled PE coaches. Pupils received the highest quality coaching, to help target obesity levels.

Coaching to continue and to expand to include cricket led sessions for CPD for key stage one staff as this was identified as an area of weakness for staff confidence.

Additional swimming lessons offered for year 6 pupils who could not swim 25m by the end of Autumn term.

An increase in the amount of children who could swim 25m efficiently and confidently.

As a coastal town, it is important that we ensure children are given the maximum opportunities to enable them to swim 25m and they can keep themselves safe in dangerous water situations.

Investment in sports equipment, particularly to enhance the gymnastics curriculum.

Buying specialist gymnastic equipment has meant we can provide an enhanced gymnastics curriculum and teach pupils a variety of movements/skills in a safe way.

This can be a one time purchase.
