What is the Sports Premium?
The Government provides funding, jointly from the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Purpose of Funding
Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding include:
- Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
- New or additional Change4Life sport clubs
- Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
- Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
- Running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games
- Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/sport
- Providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and holiday clubs
Investing in sport and PE at Ainderby Steeple Primary School
The Government initiative to improve engagement in sport and physical education (PE) at school, known at the Sport & PE Premium, provides schools such as ours with an annual budget to ensure wider engagement in physical activities leading to improved health for all children. At Ainderby Steeple we believe childrens' health and well-being is a critical part of their education and improves their ability to learn. Over the last few years we have put together a comprehensive strategy, based on our own assessment but also the opinions of both girls and boys throughout the school, that seeks to target the Premium where it is most needed as well as wanted.
We have specifically tried to engage more pupils (both boys and girls from KS1 and KS2) in sports after-school clubs and inter-school competitions. We have noticed a growing trend over time as the numbers involved have increased. This remains our main focus and by doing so we hope to provide pupils with a life-long love of sport that they will take with them to secondary school and beyond. Below is a breakdown of how we have spent the Sport & PE Premium since it was introduced.
