Sport Premium

 

The PE and Sport Premium is a government initiative designed to enhance the quality of physical education and sport in primary schools across England. This funding helps schools encourage greater participation in physical activity, promote healthy lifestyles, and improve PE teaching.

 

The PE and Sport Premium provides additional financial support to primary schools, enabling them to develop and sustain high-quality PE provision. This funding is crucial in ensuring that children remain active, engaged, and motivated to adopt lifelong healthy habits.

 

 

How can we use the funding?

 

Each eligible school receives a base grant of £16,000 per year, plus an additional £10 per pupil (for Year 1 to Year 6).

Schools have the flexibility to allocate the PE and Sport Premium funding in ways that best support their pupils' physical education and well-being. This may include:

  • Hiring qualified sports coaches to deliver specialised PE sessions.

  • Providing CPD for teachers to improve PE teaching standards.

  • Purchasing new sports equipment to enhance PE lessons and extracurricular activities.

  • Expanding extracurricular opportunities, such as after-school sports clubs.

  • Increasing active play opportunities during break times.

  • Supporting initiatives like the 'Daily Mile' to encourage regular physical activity.

Sports Premium Grant 2024–25

 

This year we have invested our Sports Premium Grant of £16,350 to strengthen PE and sport across our school. Funding has supported staff CPD to build confidence and skills, the purchase of new sports equipment, and top-up swimming lessons to ensure every child develops essential water safety.

We’ve also been able to provide a range of exciting and inclusive sporting opportunities linked to our individualised curriculum – including horse riding, boxing, gym sessions, bowling, rock climbing, and fishing – giving pupils the chance to try new activities, stay active, and discover lifelong interests.
