Sports Premium Funding

As a school we believe that it is vital to engage all children irrespective of their sporting abilities and therefore we have chosen to allocate our funding based upon some key principles:

 

• To widen the experiences of all of our children of a range of sports and activities.
• To develop a life long interest in following an active lifestyle.
• To ensure that staff have the necessary skills, knowledge, confidence and expertise to deliver high quality PE to all of our children.
• The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
• The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
• Increased participation in competitive sport.

 

It is up to us as a school to make decisions as to how we spend this funding. A significant proportion of our funding is allocated to a service level agreement with the Peterlee School Sports Partnership, which allows us as a school to draw on invaluable specialist support and coaching/training opportunities.

The Impact of Our Sports Premium Funding 2018/19

 

We endeavour to use this valuable funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport that we offer our children by:

 

• Developing or adding to the PE and sport activities that our school already offers.
• Building capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
