Sports Premium
​
Sports Premium funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
​
We will ensure that our sports premium is sustainable by improving the overall quality of PE across the school and maintaining this as we go. We will improve the quality and teaching of PE by providing long term training for staff to ensure that all teaching of PE is good or better and that staff have the required knowledge and skills to do this. This in turn will improve the children’s skills and knowledge of the subject and result in higher levels of enthusiasm and interest for clubs and events. We will also create a feeling of enjoyment for PE in events such as Health and Fitness week and competitions which all of the children can access. The PE leader will closely monitor the delivery and planning of the subject and deliver relevant up to date training for staff as and when necessary.
​
Our year six cohort 2021-2022 results are as follows.
48% could swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
40% could use a range of strokes effectively,
28% perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
Schools can choose to use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements. Have you used it in this way? NO
Water safety skills and drowning prevention have been covered in school during PE and RSEH lessons.
