Sports Premium

The government is continuing to provide additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.

In the academic year 2022/23, we will receive £17,860. This funding will be used to improve and further develop the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision​.​.

The key aims include increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.

Objectives of spending the PE grant:

  • Sustain pupil participation in fixtures, festivals, sports clubs and events.
  • Instil in pupils a love of sport and physical activity.
  • Improve resources to support PE.
  • Continue to broaden the sporting opportunities available to all pupils.
  • Support staff in the delivery of quality PE lessons.
