PE & School Sports Premium

​
​School Sport Funding is money that is provided by the government to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of Physical Education, sport and physical activity within schools.  
 
Schools are free to spend the Sport Premium as they see fit since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for all the pupils within their responsibility.  This extra funding must be spent on Physical Education, school sport and physical activity.  Each of these are defined as follows:
 
Physical Education    -  the delivery of the curriculum within lesson time to all children by teachers.
 
School Sport    -    the extra-curricular activities and competitions that our children have the opportunity to participate in.
 
Physical Activity  -    how we as a school promote exercise for enjoyment in addition to being an integral part of a healthy, active lifestyle.
 
As a school we are held accountable for how we use the additional funding. To meet this requirement we have produced reports which  set out the amount of Sport Premium we will receive and how we intend to use it. 
 
As a school we carefully consider how to spend our funding and the impact it will have on our children. We use information and guidance from the Youth Sport Trust to decide upon the most effective ways to spend the grant. For more information on this please follow this link:

We use the Sainsbury's Games Mark as an accreditation scheme, which is a nationally recognised kitemark for PE and school sport that helps us to identify priorities for our development plan. We have successfully achieved    the Gold Standard in the Sainsbury's   Games Mark for 5 consecutive    years.
