With stretched resources and increased pressure on space, how will primary heads go about making the most of the government funding announced in March to improve PE provision in schools?
James Gowans, commercial director of Playtime by Fawns, believes the key to maximize the benefit of any “legacy" funding is to ensure that schools have adequate provision to cater for a range of sports to engage children and to ensure that space can be used during breaks and lunch as well as curriculum PE.
He explained: “In our experience trying to be too prescriptive with spaces can reduce the benefits the whole school community gains from the area. While each and every setting is unique we encourage our customers to focus on creating play spaces that can be used as much as possible during the extended school day."
