PE and Sports Premium
What is the PE and Sport's Premium?
The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum for schools to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.
This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – has been allocated to primary school head teachers. The Sport's Premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
What is the purpose of the funding?
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but schools have been given the freedom to choose how they do this.
In 2025-26, our funding will be spent on:
● Increased participation in a wider range of inter-school events, through building links with local schools and Wandsworth tournaments
● Termly inter house competitions planned and delivered by sports crew members using the house system.
● A subsidy for disadvantaged children to access sports clubs
● Lunchtime activities planned and led by sports crew to improve the quality of lunchtime play.
● Gymnastic coach who lead termly lessons and run before and after school clubs for children of all ages and abilities.
● Trips and visits to sporting competitions.
● An additional swimming teacher to reduce class sizes and ensure faster progress
● Frequent fixtures facilitated by AM sports
● Cycle training for years 5 and 6.
● Build links with parents to promote Active Families
● Purchase specialist active play equipment for all years.
● Additional internal events focusing on inclusive games
