Summary of planned provision at Shepperton
Additional floats and swimming equipment - £350 Funds will enable the purchase of specialist floatation devices and equipment to promote independence and participation in swimming sessions. |
Specialist dance teacher - £3,900 Funding allows us to employ a specialist dance teacher who is able to deliver dance and music sessions across the school. As well as developing physical skills, this provision develops pupil confidence and self-esteem, encouraging group work and interaction with others. |
Rebound Training Course - £846 Funding will allow a further three members of staff to be trained to deliver rebound therapy. This training means there are more staff skilled to deliver rebound sessions, and creates more opportunities to deliver rebound sessions for more children across the school. |
Outside therapy playground climbing blocks - £3,345 This equipment will encourage active play during break times, lunchtimes and lunchtime clubs across the whole school. The equipment can also be used during outside PE lessons, and medium term plans will be adapted to incorporate the new equipment. The blocks are designed to promote practice and learning of skills such as stepping, balance and gross motor planning. This equipment is robust and will benefit children currently, but also children in years to come. |
New sports experience funding - £1,500 Funds will be used to support all pupils in the school to access an offsite sporting activity. Activities will include climbing and abseiling on the year 6 residential trip. For others the activities could include ice skating, visiting a trampoline park, going swimming offsite, bowling, accessible bicycles etc. This funding will help introduce a new range of sports and physical activities to pupils in the school, and may encourage and give confidence to more pupils to take part in these sport and physical activities in the future. |
Additional specialist PE equipment - £271 Additional specialist PE equipment will be purchased to support all children to participate in PE and physical activities during the school day. Equipment will include auditory balls to support pupils with visual impairments.

Summary of planned provision at Virginia Water
Explorative/Soft Play £1,150 Funds will allow our Key Stage 1 pupils to attend a local gymnastics facility. Pupils will have the opportunity to develop social communication and interaction skills, balance, coordination and motorial skills, reduce levels of anxiety, experience real life problem solving situations, build resilience and improve attention, focus and creativity skills. |
Level 3 Qualification Forest Schools Leader (including specific forest Schools first aider training) £1,200 Funds will enable Manor Mead School Virginia Water to train a teacher to become a qualified forest school leader. This will increase confidence knowledge and skills of all staff teaching, encouraging our pupils to engage regularly in physical activity and gain a broader experience of a range of physical activities. |
Traverse Wall Panels £900 A Traverse Wall will give our pupils a designated area to climb. Rock climbing is a very tactile activity. By accessing the wall panel, they are gaining exposure to movement and sensory input that can help in motor processing. Climbing helps develop the vestibular system and gives our pupil’s bodies proprioceptive input. The pressure they feel in their muscles and joints can help internal regulation and help develop self-regulation strategies. Improved self-regulation strategies, leads to improved self-esteem and great capacity for learning. |
Rebound Therapy Equipment and Training £3,788 Rebound Therapy is used to facilitate movement, promote balance, promote an increase or decrease in muscle tone, promote relaxation, promote sensory integration, improve fitness and exercise tolerance, and to improve communication skills. It is an ideal vehicle for cross curricular teaching activity; teaching numeracy, colour recognition, positioning (left, right, backwards, forwards, clockwise and anticlockwise), communication, and social awareness. Enabling our pupils to improve these skills leads to improved self-esteem and great capacity for learning |
The impact of the school’s Sports Funding spend will be assessed annually and pupil progress demonstrated through case studies for individual pupils.
