PE and Sports Premium
Coates Lane maintains an infectious sport and competition ethos which encompasses the 6 Spirit of the Games Values!
This academic year will be focused around girls, sticky knowledge and teacher confidence.
Physical Education
At Coates Lane, in line with the minimum DfE requirements, each class is timetabled for two separate hours of PE each week so that lessons are of high impact. This academic year, we have embedded the use of the Primary PE Passport app to ensure progression across all phases, record evidence and track pupils' acquisition of skills. Children change into their kits for PE lessons within school to ensure self-care, independence skills and confidence are attained.
To achieve mastery, the PE Passport curriculum is purposefully repetitive so that learning is sticky. Lancashire are proud that their PE Scheme of Work Progression document (2020) continues to envelope children in a structured curriculum which values the connections made between existing and new learning through practice and application within core tasks. When designing our PE long term planning on PE Passport, the subject leader considered pupil start and end points in each year group, following the SSP inter-school events calendar, opportunities for children to practice and apply their learning in meaningful ways, development of character values, dual coding opportunities and signposting teachers to specialist mentoring CPD. Please see our PE Passport long term overview planning below (detailed mapping of physical skills and character values can be found in the uploads section). This is subject to change in line with the needs of our cohorts.

Fundamental Movement/Gross and Fine Motor provision and intervention
Children within the EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, who have been identified as low participators and/or demonstrating gaps within physical development or linked with a Special Educational Need, receive weekly tailored and specialist intervention in order to develop their Fundamental Movement Skills and gross motor targets provided within OT reports. This takes place on Friday afternoons. Physical Development (Fine and Gross Motor) is closely tracked within the EYFS and Year 1 (Covid babies) through half-termly mapping of Continuous Provision (Teachers and PE Subject Leader).
School Swimming
Our curriculum school swimming and pool provider is Pendle Leisure Trust - West Craven Sports Centre who assist with school swimming and the 9 water safety/self-rescue areas within lessons across 17 weeks, each year. The 17 weeks are shared between Years 4, 5 & 6 in order to secure consistent success towards achieving National Curriculum requirements before leaving primary school. Children in Year 6 who do not meet national curriculum swimming and safe self-rescue requirements by the end of their final core swimming block are provided with top-up Sport Premium funded sessions in the summer term. On our road map and following the supportive guidance of Jess Squires (Lancashire PE Teaching and Learning Consultant), we are looking forward to scheduling Sport Premium funded infant sessions at the pool for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in the summer term.
60 Active Minutes Offer
Due to high obesity rates and low participation in physical activity outside of school time in the North West, Coates Lane commits to providing our children with 60 active minutes, per day, outside of their weekly PE lessons. Children are encouraged to be physically active throughout the day through the following offer:
Classrooms (10 minutes):
Within each year group, the class teacher plans to embed 10 minutes of moderate to high levels of physical activity into lesson warm-ups, recaps, hinge questions or plenaries each day.
Breaktimes (20 minutes):
Playground leaders and staff set up fun and collaborative games which get the children moving.
Lunchtimes (45-50 minutes):
Monday - Playground leaders and welfare staff
Tuesday - Playground leaders, Sports Cool and welfare staff
Wednesday - Playground leaders, Sports Cool and welfare staff
Thursday - Playground leaders and welfare staff
Friday - Playground leaders, Phil Cain (INTRA league) and welfare staff
Wet playtimes:
When the weather is unsuitable for safe, outdoor play, children stay in their classrooms and participate in high-energy workouts by dancing and exercising to videos such as Joe Wicks, Just Dance and Go Noodle.
Active Travel
Following the success of previous movement events, active weeks, raising money for charity through physical activity and the Pendle 'Beat the Street' competition, we have launched our very own daily and weekly 'MOVE IT' events...Wheelie Wednesday and through our partnership with Living Streets' WOW Challenge! This whole school initiative aims to encourage our children to participate in active minutes before school. Each day, children self-register on the Active Travel Tracker and if they travel to school in an active way once a week, they earn a unique monthly badge. Every Wednesday, children are invited to travel to school on wheels (bike, scooter, rollerblades/skates or skateboards) and are tracked on a register. Our school's sports ambassadors assist Mrs McCartan with this. Active Travel children are rewarded with a raffle ticket each week and a prize will be drawn at the end of each term!
Playground Leaders
As part of the essential criteria for achieving Gold in the School Games Mark, a proportion of children on roll must be provided with training opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
Recently we were very lucky to have the support of Fiona Callaghan (SGO Pendle) who came in and trained an elected team of Playground Leaders within our school. From this, the team have been issued with tabards and a timetable which they share the responsibility, throughout the week, of promoting active break and lunch times on the playground and a platform for making friends by setting up games in their designated area. The children have been trained to look for children who may be alone or not being physically active. These children are also responsible for electing young leaders throughout school to shadow and assist them throughout the year. Young leaders are also given the opportunity to support and assist during our Sports Days.
Sport Ambassadors
Each year, Sports Ambassadors are appointed in school and meet regularly with the PE subject leader. Their role involves assisting with Intra and Inter events (participation and competition), school games days, monitoring and tracking physical activity before and after school, gathering pupil voice and evaluating our school's active minutes offer. This year, as the national focus is on girls, we have elected four female pupils to raise the profile of physical well-being, participation in sport and promote the school games values across school.
Bikeability
In partnership with Go Velo, Coates Lane values the importance of equipping our pupils with the skills and confidence to cycle on today's roads. Go Velo runs a recognised Bikeability Scheme registered with the Department for Transport. Bikeability is the modern version of Cycling Proficiency, designed for current road conditions to teach how to ride a bike confidently. There are certificates and badges for each level. Classes timetabled for Bikeability are listed below:
Year 5 - Autumn 1
Year 3 - Autumn 2
Year 4 - Autumn 2
Reception - Spring 1
We are very excited to announce that we have confirmed Learn to Ride CPD for two members of our EYFS staff in Spring 1 2025 which means that we as a school will be able to sustainably provide fantastic gross development to our Reception children each year. This CPD will be led by Go Velo, is being funded by the Sports Premium and includes the purchase of 6 bikes and helmets.
School Sports Partnership - Pendle
Each year, Coates Lane uses a portion of the Sports Premium to pay into Pendle's School Sports Partnership. Through this membership, we are provided with a plethora of tailored sports events for a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, coaches to broaden the children's experience within new sports, CPD for staff, network meetings, pathways for children to represent their school, playground leader training and much more! We were thrilled to have committed to and attended 39 inter-school events last academic year and to have been selected to represent Pendle at the Party in the Park for girls football! Our School Games Organiser for Pendle is Fiona Callaghan, who is based at Pendle Vale College.
