Sports & Sports Premium

The PE and sport premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils. We believe in the importance of physical activity and sports in developing pupils’ wellbeing, development, health and social skills.

Schools must spend the funding to improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer, but they are free to choose the best way to do so.  The government suggests that school can use funding to:

• hire specialist PE teachers

• hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers

• provide existing staff with teaching resources to help them teach PE and sport

• support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs

• run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games

• run sports activities with other schools.

We aim to develop PE and sports provision through:

• following a broad and balanced PE curriculum

• giving every child the opportunity to swim at least 25m by the end of Y6

• developing children’s fitness

• meeting the needs of different children through providing opportunities for all - with adaptations to cater for physical and other needs

• developing the skills of our staff in order to ensure long term benefit for our pupils 

• providing positive, enjoyable and rewarding experiences for our pupils

Each year we publish how we have spent our allocation.
