A foundation for success since 1932

PE and Sports Premium

Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6. 

We will publish a report detailing how we have spent our PE and sport premium funding allocation at the end of each academic year. Our plan to spend the PE and Sports Premium in our first year of receiving it is to purchase high quality PE equipment, extra-curricular sporting activities and experiences to promote a love of physical activity. 

The DFE States: 

All children and young people should live healthy active lives. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that all children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day. Children with special educational needs and disabilities should take part in 20 minutes of daily activity.  

The Childhood Obesity Plan says that at least 30 minutes of daily activity should take place in schools.  

Schools have a key role to play in achieving this aim. This is particularly true of primary schools where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded. All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Academic achievement can improve in school because of the benefits children can gain.
