Sports Premium Funding
The Governments P.E. and Sport Premium is additional ring-fenced funding that aims to improve the provision of physical education and school sport in primary schools.
Sports premium is to be used to increase the quality and breadth of PE and sport. We strive to promote healthy and active lifestyles by providing fun and engaging opportunities to be active as well as increasing participation in PE and sport and enhancing skills of teachers to deliver high quality PE experiences.
As a condition of grant all primary schools must have published a report, showing how they have spent their PE and sport premium funding allocation and the impact it has had, on the school’s website by Thursday 31 July 2025.
