PE & Sport Premium Report (2024–25)

PE & Sport Premium is government funding provided to primary schools to help all children lead healthy, active lives and to improve the quality of physical education, school sport, and physical activity. As a school, we must use this funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to PE and sport provision — not to fund core curriculum activities.

Its aims include: increasing pupils’ participation in physical activity, raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, improving staff skills and confidence, widening access to a broad range of sports, and enabling all children to thrive regardless of background or ability.

We receive £16,000 plus an extra £10 per pupil each year.
