PE & Sports Premium Funding 

As a legacy of the 2012 Olympic games, the government provides additional PE and Sport funding directly to schools. The PE and Sport Premium package is designed to help children get an active start to life, supporting primary schools to improve the quality of their PE and sport provision so that pupils can experience the benefits of regular exercise – from becoming healthier both mentally and physically to improved behaviour and better academic achievement. Schools must spend the funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they have the freedom to choose how they do this.

Details of the conditions of the grant can be found here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pe-and-sport-premium-conditions-of-grant-2023-to-2024 .

At our school we are committed to ensuring our children understand the importance of being active, having a healthy lifestyle and enjoy sports and games activities.

As a school, we continue to:

• Provide continuing professional development for our teaching staff by providing them the opportunity to work alongside a specialist PE teacher, developing their skills and subject knowledge.
• Offering a broad range of extra-curricular sports clubs for which pupils can take part, inspiring interest and aptitude in a range of disciplines.
• Ensuring high quality professional equipment (including PE kits) were available for lessons, break times and extra-curricular clubs to ensure all children had access.
• Invest in sporting equipment.
