What is Sports Premium?
The government provides additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. The funding is called the Sports Premium and is allocated to all maintained school and academies in England. The funding for a school of our size is based upon £16,000 plus £10 per pupil (Years 1-6 only). This year St Mary’s will receive £17,930.
We are required to publish how much Sports Premium money we receive and how we have chosen to spend that money.
At St Mary’s we aim to:
-
Place physical activity and well-being at the heart of the schools vision statement.
-
Provide high quality CPD for teachers including the opportunity to work alongside specialist coaches.
-
Provide a greater range of opportunities for pupils to compete in inter and intra school competitions.
-
Provide a greater range of sporting after school clubs.
