All primary schools across the country have been provided with extra funding from the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. The purpose of the funding is to achieve clear outcomes in raising achievement and increasing opportunities for all primary aged children in PE.

For the academic year 2023-2024 we received: £19,500

This funding was only spent on PE and sports related provision in the school and the school will be held to account for its use.

At Gospel Oak School we recognise the importance that PE and sports play in the lives of children in promoting healthy lifestyles and developing them physically, emotionally and mentally.  We believe that children’s self-esteem, attitude and self-discipline are improved by being able to engage in and achieve success in sporting activities.  Being an inner-city school where the majority of pupils do not have easy access to outdoor play space, we understand the importance of our pupils being able to participate in regular physical activity and sport.  

We are committed to ensuring that all pupils receive at least 2 hours of well planned, high quality PE per week - one lesson of which is provided by a highly experienced secondary trained PE teacher. Our Primary School Sport’s Funding will contribute to helping us achieve our aims of improving and extending our provision through having specialist PE staff, procuring additional sports professionals, entering into more competitive sporting competitions, inclusive sports events and provision of training for all staff.   

This linked document illustrates Gospel Oak’s very strong record in the Annual Camden Active Schools award (reflecting both excellence in sports competitions and high numbers of children participating). In normal years every child in KS2 represents the school in at least one competitive sports fixture (and additional friendly competitions). Gospel Oak was the first Camden Primary school to achieve the School Games Mark Gold Award.
