The PE and Sport Premium is an additional layer of funding received by schools. It is ring-fenced so can only be spent on improving the quality and breadth of PE and School Sport. It has been doubled to support schools to implement the government’s Obesity Strategy and to support the health and wellbeing of all young people in the school.
There is now a total grant of £16,000 plus £10 per child on roll. We receive this each academic year. The grant comes from 3 government departments:
We have chosen to work with Elite Sports this year. Their aim is to provide a wide range of sporting activities for young children and are committed to ensuring and helping them reach and realise their full potential through sport.
By working together we can; share best practice, collaborate on PE programmes, exchange high quality ideas, engage different young people in events and broaden local competition options.
We do this by focusing work into 4 areas:
Each year we publish a report on our website. This tells our visitors how we have spent our grant and what the impact has been.
School staff receive support and training to embed some of the new ideas in to their own delivery. New relationships are being created with local schools so that we can continue to work together. Children are signposted to community opportunities so they can continue to pursue any new-found interests.
The School Governors receive a report from the Headteacher which covers the above questions. Governors are invited to visit and monitor the impact of our premium at a school level and also at our shared events.
