Sport Funding

All schools have been allocated funding to improve PE and Sport Provision.

Throughout this academic year we have been working hard to spend the money in a way that will benefit the children’s health and wellbeing and improve their attitudes and behaviour towards learning.

Since September 2022 the funding has been used in a number of different ways, the points below illustrate this:-

• Hiring specialist qualified sports coaches to work with teachers during PE lessons.

• Training for PE co-ordinator to improve PE within the Early Years.

• Raise the profile of PE in our locality through entering numerous inter-school competitions.

• Funding for PE co-ordinators to work together with the HELP Locality Network to provide improved provision for PE in these schools.

• New schemes brought in to support the teaching of PE.

• A wider range of after school sporting activities and more accessibility for all pupils.

• 100 % of our year 6 cohort are meeting the national curriculum requirement to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. 100% of our Year 6 cohort use a range of strokes effectively and perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
