PE and Sport Premium Funding
What is the Primary PE and Sports Premium?
The PE and Sport Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
The four objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:
-
To improve the quality of existing PE teaching through continuing professional learning in PE, so that all primary pupils improve their health, skills and physical literacy, and have broader exposure to a range of sports
-
To increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils, and maintain these into adolescence
-
To increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport and to promote PE specialisation in primary level workforce
-
Schools understand and value the benefits of high quality PE and sport, including its use as a tool for whole school improvement.
How we spent the funding in 2022-23 and the impact:
Swimming attainment
The programme
Our objectives:
- All non-swimmers achieve 25m thus meeting the statutory requirements of the national curriculum for
- Pupils know the dangers of water locally and nationally.
- Pupils know how and why to use appropriate survival and self-rescue skills if they fall in by accident or get into difficulty.
- Pupils know what to do if others get into trouble.
By December 2023 (59 pupils):
- 88% of Year 6 pupils were able to swim 25m.
- 100% of Year 6 pupils can perform safe self-rescue. This will be revisited through workshops in the summer term.
