PE & Sport Premium

In 2013-14 the Government launched its PE and Sport Funding. This funding is based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6 and must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport that we offer.

The school must use its funding to:-

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that our school already offers

• make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining our school in future years

For example, the funding can be used to:-

• hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers

• provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively

• introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport

• support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs

• run sport competitions

• increase pupils’ participation in the School Games

• run sports activities with other schools

School Games Mark Platinum Award

We are proud to have achieved the prestigious School Games Mark Platinum Award, recognising our commitment to PE, school sport, and physical activity. This award celebrates our dedication to providing high-quality sporting opportunities for all pupils, encouraging participation, leadership, and competition. We have built strong links with local clubs, promoted inclusive sports and ensured physical activity is at the heart of school life. Achieving platinum status reflects our long-term commitment to physical education, inspiring healthy lifestyles and teamwork. It highlights our school as a leader in sport, creating a positive, active environment for every child to thrive.

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise the school's engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active.  We are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

We are extremely proud of our pupils and for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible.  We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven't previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our pupils have a positive experience and want to try our new activities beyond school too in our community.
