What is the PE & Sport Premium?
Primary schools receive specific government funding called the 'PE and Sport Premium'. The funding aims to help improve the quality of PE teaching and sports opportunities in primary schools.
What we receive:
In 2025-26, we received a PE & Sport Premium Allocation of £17,210 for 121 eligible pupils.
What the funding is for:
Schools are free to spend the Sport Premium as they see fit. However, we must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE, physical activity and sport we offer.
How we have spent the funding:
As a school we are accountable for how we will use this additional funding. Schools are required to publish online information regarding how they have used the premium and the impact it has made.
This year, we are using our Sport Premium to enhance the opportunities given to the children for daily physical activity outside of the PE lessons.
We aim for:
● high level of pupil engagement
● increased team spirit and sportsmanship
● increased active playtimes and lunchtimes
● develop awareness of the benefits of active lifestyles, as well as pupil’s knowledge of the links between diet and physical activity and wellbeing
● continuing to develop active after school clubs available to all pupils
● swimming lessons for pupils from Year 3 to Year 6
We will fulfil our objectives in the following ways:
● offering a range of activities at playtime and lunchtime
● purchasing and maintaining sport equipment
● maintaining high quality upper body strength equipment, meeting safety standards
● ensure all PE and sports equipment is sufficient to deliver high quality sessions
● entering and running sports competitions
