Principles of 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:
How we will ensure sustainability:
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. Through accessing staff professional development opportunities with the Sports Partnership, our staff are able to utilise the knowledge and skills developed in their future practice. Staff are continually able to request support and advice based upon their individual development needs, thus ensuring sustainability.
The Sports Partnership supports with curriculum planning which is integrated with a planned programme of sporting competitions and activity events throughout the year. This ensures sustainability as planning is provided to staff and is readily accessible.
Effect on Participation and Attainment
Our children compete regularly in inter-school competition.
Funding is provided for transport so that individual financial circumstances are not a barrier to participation.
Children with sporting talents are able to compete against other talented children from other primary schools.
We allow children to enter competitions repeatedly e.g. swimming gala, cross country and athletics, so that they can improve their performance year on year.
Funding has been used to purchase school sports kit when children compete for and represent the school. This has developed a real sense of pride and has led to improved engagement for pupils.
We fully fund transport for all Year 2 pupils to attend the annual outdoor adventure event at Shotton Hall Conference Centre organised by the Sports Partnership. Children of all abilities compete in teams around a series of physical activities against other local schools.
Specific children are invited to sporting events against children of similar abilities. These children would not normally represent the school in sporting events.
We make significant use of our on site swimming pool. All children from Years 1 to 6 will have swimming lessons during the year.

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:
