Sports Premium

Funding for Primary School PE and Sports: 2023-2024

In keeping with previous years, the government provides a grant to schools known as the Sports Premium. Our allocation for the academic year 23/24 was £17420.

The aim of this funding is to improve the Physical Education (P.E.) and sports programmes offered by primary schools, and is provided jointly by various governmental departments, including Education, Health and Culture, and Media and Sport.

The funding will be ‘ring fenced’ – this means it can only be spent specifically on P.E. and sport in schools.

Purpose of funding

Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, though how they do this remains their decision.

Through our sports premium, we aim to offer:

Opportunities to attend a range of competitions covering a wide variety of sports;
Use specialist coaches to work alongside teaching staff to improve their skills and knowledge.
Provide professional development opportunities for teachers.
Employ two swimming coaches for all swimming sessions- Improving the quality of teaching and learning.
‘Buy into’ the local schools partnership for sport- ensuring value for money.
Enhance our equipment and resources to enhance our teaching and learning in this area.
