PE and Sport Premium

The Department for Education (DfE) wants all children to have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Schools should aim to provide high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities. By providing this it can help improve children’s health and wellbeing, personal development as well as academic attainment.

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to support children to meet 60 active minutes and achieve the above aims. This funding must not be used for core-type school activities. Schools should use it to:  

• make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide

• provide or improve equal access to sport for boys and girls

• ensure teachers have the relevant skills and knowledge to confidently teach PE in a structured way, prioritising continued professional development (CPD) and training where needed

Sport Premium

We recognise that a truly healthy lifestyle is much more than pupils' participation in physical activity or eating habits; this funding is crucial in increasing the opportunities we are able to offer within a more rounded strategy to our healthy living and lifestyles agenda.

See below for our current spending on Sports Premium, We have already used the funding to expand the sporting 'Culture Capital' experiences for the children.
