Sports Premium Grant
What is School Sports Premium?
Schools have a central role to play in supporting all children and young people to live healthy active lives. This is particularly true of primary school where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity should be established.
Crucial to achieving this is ensuring that pupils have access to at least 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, alongside high-quality PE provision taught by confident and knowledgeable teachers and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. The PE and sport premium grant funding should be used by schools towards these aims.
Schools must use the funding to develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide, as well as make additional and sustainable improvements, following the 5 key indicators:
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
- The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- Broader experience of a range of sports and physical activities offered to all pupils
- Increased participation in competitive sport
What is the purpose of this funding?
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. At High Hurstwood we recognise that P.E plays an integral part in the well-being of all of our children. We aim to incorporate physical education across our creative curriculum often linking it to our class themes where possible. We offer a wide and varied choice of extra-curricular activities run by qualified and experienced external agencies. As we understand that leading a healthy and active lifestyle can have a positive impact on the concentration, learning and attitude of all children.
