Sports Premium
Our current priorities in our PE and Sport Provision are:
- To continue to make improvements to the Quality of Education in PE.
- To widen pupils' opportunities to engage in a range of sports.
- To strengthen route to club.
The Government allocate funding specifically to the teaching, learning and access and participation in PE and Sports. The Government advise that:
"Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims. It must not be used for core-type school activities. They should use it to make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide, such as:
- funding high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities
- providing or improving equal access to sport for boys and girls
Schools should prioritise PE and sport premium spending to improve in the following 5 key areas:
- increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
- increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport
- raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
- offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
- increase participation in competitive sport"
