PE and Sports Premium
St James’ CEC Primary School uses the PE and Sports premium to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport which includes encouraging the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
Background
The Government in England announced on 8th March 2023 that they would continue to provide additional funding of over £600 million for the next 2 academic years - a funding commitment to improve the quality of PE and sports in primary schools to help children benefit from regular activity.
The funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent on PE and school sport provision in schools.
Vision
All pupils leaving our primary school will be physically literate and have the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
Key Aims for Sport Premium Funding at St James’ Primary School:
- the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
- the profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- increased participation in competitive sport
- improved resources/equipment in school to teach PE
- developing links and providing information to pupils and parents to signpost for further sporting opportunities
