Sport's Premium Funding
PE and Sport Premium funding
The government provides additional funding to schools to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school Head Teachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools
"The additional sports premium funding is used exceptionally well. There are a wide range of competitive and team sports on offer. Sports coaches have developed staff expertise in teaching."

How to use the PE and Sport Premium
Schools must spend the funding to improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils, but they are free to choose the best way of using the money.
For example, the funding can be used to:
- Hire specialist PE teachers
- Hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
- Provide existing staff with teaching resources to help them teach PE and sport
- Support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs
- Run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
- Run sports activities with other schools

Areas to Develop in 2019/2020
To continue to support and extend use of our PE coach in his delivery of whole school PE coverage ensuring differentiation and consistency in line with our whole school focus.
- Continue to offer variety of alternative sporting opportunities.
- Extend competitive sport fixtures to all age groups rather than primarily year 6.
- Identify focus areas for further teacher professional development.
- Consider how we might introduce additional whole school activities e.g. Daily Mile, within the constraints of school setting and available time.
- Encourage healthier packed lunches as part of a drive to improve overall lifestyle choices.
- Identify non-swimmers earlier in their school life and provide top up swimming lessons to ensure they meet national curriculum standards.
- To continue to build on links with local sporting organisations to enable visits and school workshops.
