Primary School PE and Sport Funding
The government is providing additional funding 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 headteachers.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.
Eligible schools
Funding for schools will be calculated by reference to the number of primary aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11), as recorded in the annual schools census in January.
Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
We are members of the local sports partnership (HBSSPAN), this enables us to make our provision sustainable by working together to provide competition, by providing training for all staff and access to high quality support and resources.
We also take part in the small schools' network (Unity Learning Partnership) sporting events. This gives our pupils to compete against pupils from similar schools to our own.
We use a specialist sport coaching company to support the delivery of high quality PE and games. We use this service to help provide lunchtime sports activities and after school club sport provision.
As a school we are working to increase participation, develop sports leadership and improve attainment.
