Sports Premium

What is Sports Premium?

The Government has stated that "physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental well-being (increasing self-esteem and emotional well-being and lowering anxiety and depression). Children who are physically active are happier, more resilient, and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement."

They allocate money through the PE and Sport Premium so that Primary Schools can help children achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sports they provide.

Each year, the school produces a report summarising how we have spent the Sports Premium allocation and how we intend to use the next year's allocation. You can read our latest report below.

Our key priorities are:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
Using PESSPA as a tool for whole-school improvement
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
Increased participation in competitive sport

For this financial year 2023-2024, the allocated for Sports Premium is £21,349
