PE and Sport Premium

Impact of our spending

Our review of PE and Sport Premium spending in 2023-24 is available here.  

For an overview of our successes and how the Premium Funding works, please read on...

Perhaps the most notable outcome of our PE & Sport Premium Spending is that we have now been awarded the School Games Platinum Award (June 2024), having been awarded the Gold Award for the four previous years.  The Platinum Award is difficult to achieve and demonstrates the impact our spending has had right across the school in providing a wide range of opportunities for children to develop their sport.

   

We are very proud of the range of sports and opportunities that we offer, which have led to us being given this award.  Please read the criteria to see what we achieved in order to gain the Platinum Award. 

We are also required to publish the percentage of Year 6 pupils who achieve the 3 key outcomes for swimming.  The latest figures, for 2020 are as follows:

Outcome % of Y6 children who achieved it (2023)
  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
 100%
  • use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]
 100%
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
 100%

 

Impact on competitive sport

Impact has also been shown through our success in competitive sport in the last two years.  For a small school we find regularly that we 'punch above our weight' in competitions and have had some notable successes, as listed here:

-5th in the country in the small school football league

-Small School County Athletics Champions

-Small school County cricket champions

-County Basketball champions

-County netball champions

-2nd place in the County swimming gala

-2nd place in the County badminton 

  

How the funding works

Primary Schools have received money specifically directed at making sustainable improvements to the PE and sport that they offer.  This page is where we explain how we have used our funding.  You can find more information about this Department for Education grant here.
