Sports Premium
What is the Primary School PE & Sport Premium?
For many school academic years the government has allocated extra funding to all primary schools to improve Physical Education (PE) and Sport so that they develop pupils’ healthy lifestyles. This additional funding has been made available directly to schools to improve the provision of Physical Education (PE) and Sport. Schools have the freedom to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport and in turn enhance participation levels and attainment
What should it be used for?
Schools may choose how they use the funding, for example to:
- hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers during PE lessons
- provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers
run sports activities with other schools
At Petersfield Infant school, the Sport Premium funding will be used to enhance and broaden our PE provision, making it exciting for all children, encouraging life-long participation in sport and physical activity and have an awareness of healthy food and how it effect the body and fitness.
The document below shows how we have spent Sports Funding historically and how we are spending it in the current academic year. Additional staff training has had a long term, sustainable effect on all pupils. All additional physical activities and resources promote healthy, active life styles for all our pupils.
