What is the Sports Premium?

The Government is providing additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. They have continued with the initiative year on year and we have had great success with specific coaching and training for our staff. The money is provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. It is allocated to primary school headteachers. It can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

As part of the PE National Curriculum we are required by law to teach all of our pupils to swim. In the infants ALL children in Yr 1 and 2 have weekly swimming sessions . In KS2 children swim in either year 4 for the year in a local authority full-sized pool.
