PE and Sport Provision at Atwood Primary Academy
2019-2020
PE and Sport Provision
Sport takes a high priority at Atwood. Since becoming an academy in 2014, all year groups from 1 to
6 have been taught at least one lesson per week by sports specialists. This ended in July 2020 in favour
of Atwood staff leading all PE and School Sport from September 2020. Staff have received Continued
Professional Development (CPD) and support from Croydon School Sports Partnership in order to
develop various aspects of PE provision. Resources are well stocked and a number of clubs are in place
for the enjoyment of Atwood children. The school has continued to enter various Croydon leagues
and taken part in festivals for many different sports. Our children enjoy their PE at Atwood. Atwood
was awarded a Gold standard for sport from the Youth Sports Trust in 2018 in recognition for its
commitment to school PE and sport. It must be noted that due to COVID 19, sporting provision has
been dramatically affected since March 2019, however during lockdown, those children attending
school took part in outdoor and adventurous activities instead.
The Physical Environment - Indoor Provision
Atwood has a large hall where PE can take place as well as a smaller hall which can be used for dance
or fitness related activities requiring less floor space. Atwood has a variety of sporting and fitness
equipment which can be easily accessed by teachers to support their teaching. This includes climbing
equipment, professional gymnastic resources as well a wide range of equipment used in the teaching
of invasion games and net/wall games.
Each class has a hall time slot during the course of a week and these sessions range from 40-60 minutes
allowing the children to excel in a wide variety of sporting and fitness activities.
Outdoor Provision
Atwood has great outdoor sporting facilities that boast a fully mapped permanent orienteering course.
Atwood continued to host inter-school competitions, particularly football, cross- country, netball and
hockey to name a few, until March 2020.
Atwood has a large field now with 2 sets of permanent football posts for 7-aside matches and training
and various sets of moveable goals which can be used in a variety of settings. There are now plans for
a Daily Mile Track to be installed around the perimeter of the field as from September 2020, this
activity is now mandatory.
Addressing Pupil Voice, the Junior Playground now has a set of high quality, permanent basketball goals.
This has been in response for our children wanting to play more competitive basketball, as well as a
second set of movable basketball goals. Atwood used some of its Sports Premium Funding for this
purpose. A further pledge from the FOAP also allowed the netball markings to be re-lined making the
experience of matches much better for all involved.
1Furthermore, addressing Pupil Voice, in 2019, 2 outdoor Table Tennis Tables were installed for the
enjoyment of all.
There is a trim trail and a climbing wall which are both used regularly during playtimes and lunchtimes.
In addition, Atwood also has a garden area including a poly-tunnel which has been lovingly renovated
to high standards by a diverse group of volunteers, during our ever-popular Dig for Atwood and DIY
SOS weekends. Our Green Team (parents) and our Eco Champions (children and parents) do what
they can to enhance the grounds for learning opportunities throughout the year.
Atwood also has an orchard available for teaching and learning activities and for the children to use at
break times in the finer weather; this has been left to develop naturally and now includes a 6m bell
tent with stove to support our Forest Schools provision. The school backs onto Riddlesdown
Common which is easily accessible through a back gate and is often used during cross country sessions
and outdoor activities.
In 2016, Atwood ran its inaugural Forest School activities for children in Nursery and Reception. This
was very well received by pupils, parents and staff and this provision is set to continue in 2020 and
beyond.
In 2018, Atwood introduced the ‘Daily Mile’. Running from March to October, our children enjoy
walking or running the ‘daily mile’ alongside their teacher in our great grounds, enjoying friendship,
fresh-air and fun. From September 2020, we plan to install a rubberised surface for all-year round use
in response to increasing the physical activity of children since lockdown.
Sport and Physical Activity at Atwood
The PE curriculum focuses on pupils enjoying active, healthy lifestyles where children respond
positively to challenges and develop self-confidence and physical capabilities. Through sport and other
physical activities, children learnt to increase their body control, co-ordination and dexterity. Children
also learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and as part of a team. We encourage children
to co-operate and compete fairly and abide by the principles of ‘sportsmanship’ at all times. Atwood
believes it is important to win graciously and loose in good-spirit.
An annual ‘Healthy Living Week’ is held where children get the opportunity to work with a different
class teacher and take part in a wide variety of sports. The week culminates with a competitive ‘Sports
Day’; a day of competitive team games and individual races.
In 2016, Atwood introduced the role of pupil Sports Reps, who have been involved in deciding the
direction of PE and school sport. The Sports Reps also planned and organised our annual Sports Day
in June and were actively involved in increasing the level of participation and challenge of the event.
Many of Atwood pupils represent the school at a high level. Children from Atwood have played for
Crystal Palace, represented Surrey, Sanderstead and Purley for cricket and recently, Atwood pupils
are taking part in diving competitions held in our region.
Residential Activities
Pupils in Year 4 take part in Camp Atwood in which they work as a team to pitch a tent and spend
a night under canvas. During the day and evening of Camp Atwood, the pupils take part in a variety
of exciting ‘Wide Games’ such as Flag Raider.
Pupils in Year 5 visit Carroty Wood activity centre in Kent for two days. Pupils take part in the
following activities: BMX biking, archery, orienteering, low ropes, high ropes, rock climbing and
abseiling.
2Pupils in Year 6 visit Stubbers activity centre in Essex for five days. Pupils take part in the following
activities: quad biking, commando camping, archery, paddle-boarding, rifle shooting, tunnelling, bush-
craft, kayaking, banana riding, raft building, rock climbing, sailing (picos), high ropes, jet-skiing,
orienteering, abseiling and team challenges
*All of the above is subject to COVID restrictions
Competitions and Provision
Atwood has been a member of the Croydon School Sports Partnership (CSSP)
http://croydonssp.co.uk/ for the past six years and as such, is able to access and regularly attend
competitions and events run by CSSP. This partnership has also allowed Atwood to make new contacts
with various different sports and local clubs that has allowed us to start to set up new competitions
and festivals giving more students of all abilities including SEND the chance to access these events, for
example in the recent Panathlon event.
Many clubs are on offer throughout the year including:
Cross Country club, Football, Goal Keeping, Netball, Dance, Flexiflics Gymnastics, Athletics, Multi-
skills, Tag Rugby, Tennis and Tae Kwondo

The Senior Leadership Team and Governors have considered the 5 main priorities for the effective
spend of the Sports Premium which are:
The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity. It's recommended 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
3 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
And therefore, to make these more operationally achievable, Atwood has ‘merged’ the 5 priorities
into 3 Key Indicators, and these are:
Key indicator 1:
The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – Chief Medical Officer guidelines
recommend that primary school children undertake at least 30 minutes of physical activity a
day in school
Key indicator 2:
The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school
development, including increasing the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching
PE and sport
Key indicator 3:
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils with increased
participation in competitive sport, especially at KS1
Leadership Overview
The Headteacher oversees all sporting provision, however the day- to- day leadership of PE and school
sport is delegated to a teacher. There are also two governors, Mr C Knightly and Mr C Jones, who
are responsible for having the strategic oversight for PE funding spend across the school.
Below is a breakdown of the spending for the academic year 2019-20. It also includes potential or
planned spending for the academic year 2020-21.
The Sports Premium funding for Atwood for 2019-20 was £19,600 This is how we
