Sports Premium
Sports Premium
The Department for Education (DfE) wants all children to have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Schools should aim to provide high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities. By providing this it can help improve children’s health and wellbeing, personal development as well as academic attainment.
Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to support children to meet 60 active minutes and achieve the above aims. This funding must not be used for core-type school activities. Schools should use it to:
- make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide.
- provide or improve equal access to sport for boys and girls.
- ensure teachers have the relevant skills and knowledge to confidently teach PE in a structured way, prioritising continued professional development (CPD) and training where needed.
The sports premium has had a massive impact on our P.E and school sport at St Margaret's Primary Academy.
We have used the sports premium to:
- Help raise the profile of P.E across the school.
- We offer all children opportunities such as colour runs, Santa dash, sports days and much more!
- We offer over 30 sporting events throughout the academic year.
- We have added exciting new sports to our curriculum or after school clubs such as quidditch, tchoukball, boccia, curling, kinball and spikeball.
- We also offer a range of clubs from outside companies such as skateboarding, tag rugby, gymnastics and dance.
