PE and Sports Premium Funding (Previous Years)
Funding for 2016 to 2017
Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £500 per pupil.
Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £8,000 and an additional payment of £5 per pupil.
What has been the effect of Sports Premium Funding on pupils’ participation and attainment?
With the support of our dedicated staff, pupils are enjoying a wider variety of activities and we are seeing an increase in the number of pupils opting for after-school sports clubs. Using industry professional and coaches to introduce new activities to our pupils has given them an insight into high level performance and the enthusiasm for sport is obvious as obvious in PE lessons as it is during ‘house’ tournaments.
How will we make these improvement sustainable?
We consistently strive to improve opportunities for our pupils. Where an activity proves popular, we make every effort to provide additional resources (more staff, extra clubs) so that all pupils can take part. In addition, we are always looking for fresh challenges to engage and excite the children at Penpol. These challenges might include surfing, golf, tennis, street dance, gymnastics and sports tournaments.
Super Students Attend STEM Program
Kian and Max (both Class 11) have both regularly taking part in an event called ‘Super Saturdays’ at Camborne School. From this there stills were recognised and they were invited to attend the Nexus STEM camp in the Easter Holidays. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, during this camp the boys had lots of fun.
The week consisted of building boats, marshmallow bridges, mixing chemicals and all things that go bang.
I had an amazing week learning about and doing things I wouldn’t get to do in Primary school- Max
Nexus was a really good experience and I recommend Camborne School Super Saturdays to anyone who loves science and maths- Kian
