• Purchasing a scheme of work through UK Sports provider that allows skills in the key areas to be developed progressively through each year group.

• Developing termly intra-school competitions for all children through membership of the Youth Sports Trust.

• Increasing pupil participation in a wide range of extra-curricular sports clubs.
