Sport Premium

What is the Sport premium?         

Purpose of the funding

The purpose of the Sport Premium funding is to support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives by making participation in PE and school sport easier and more accessible for everyone. It aims to ensure that all pupils can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity, regardless of their background or ability, while improving their health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment. Schools use the funding to embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity, in line with guidance that children should engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each day (or 20 minutes for disabled children). This includes providing at least two hours of high-quality PE each week, alongside a wide range of extracurricular and competitive sporting opportunities, without replacing activities already part of the core curriculum.

Schools can use the premium to spend on:

• developing or adding to the PE, physical activity and sport that their school provides
• building capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

Schools should use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators:

1. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
2. Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement.
3. Increasing confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
4. Broadening experiences of a range of sports and physical activities offered to all pupils.
5. Increasing participation in competitive sport.

School Games Mark

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award for the 2024/25 academic year. The School Games Mark is a government-led award that recognises a school’s commitment to the development of competitive sport and physical activity. It celebrates schools that actively promote opportunities for all pupils to take part in high-quality PE, school sport and competition. The award reflects the range of opportunities provided, including inclusive participation, extracurricular clubs, leadership roles and inter-school competitions. It also highlights the school’s commitment to engaging the least active pupils and developing positive attitudes towards lifelong physical activity. Achieving the School Games Mark demonstrates the school’s ongoing dedication to providing a broad, balanced and inclusive sporting offer for all children.

Our physical activity and school sport achievements this year include:

• Maintaining and growing our school's engagement in the school games
• Ensuring that all children achieve 60 active minutes per day (30 in school)
• Creating positive experiences to ensure physical activity and competition provision is designed to reflect the motivation, competence and confidence of our pupils
• Ensuring that all pupils have the confidence are engaged in a range of different activities
• Positive experiences being provided through festivals, competitions, sports week and sports days.
• Sharing sporting news in our newsletters and in celebration assemblies

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

We look forward to applying once again in 2026
