Sports Premium

What is the Sports Premium?                                                                                                              

The Department of Education’s Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium is: “All pupils leaving primary school should be physically literate, with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.” 

We want to provide opportunities that will ensure all children can achieve basic, fundamental skills in PE that will set them up for future sporting achievements in and outside of the school setting. We believe that with a clear understanding of the importance of the fundamentals children will show more enjoyment in sporting activities. We hope this will enable them to gain the confidence and motivation to engage in a wide range of sports throughout their lives.

Purpose of funding

Schools spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport in order to:        

  • - Develop or add to the PE and sports activities that the school already offers
  • - Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvement’s made now will benefit pupils joining the school in later years

It is expected that with this funding schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:

  1. Provide targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
  2. Encourage active play during break times and lunchtimes
  3. Establish, extend or funding attendance of school sport clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered
  4. Adopt an active mile initiative
  5. Raise attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2. Every child should leave primary school able to swim

 How will we be spending the Sport Premium Funding and who will benefit?
