Our Aim:

• To promote activity and fitness, health and fun for all pupils
• To provide all children with access to a broad, balanced programme of physical activities with opportunities for social interaction and engagement with the outdoors as well as the opportunity to develop life skills

All Primary Schools receive a Sport Premium allocation. This funding is to be used for schools to provide, develop and deliver sustainable high-quality teaching in school physical education and sport.

We use our funding to ensure our pupils enjoy active lunchtimes with play leaders, to up-skill teachers, to partially fund swimming, purchase new equipment, provide sports enrichment opportunities and ensure children have high quality outdoor areas in which to play sport.

Some PE lessons are taught by coaches from Premier Education, who also run after school sports clubs and lead lunchtime sports activities.  Our pupils participate in sports competitions - both within school and against other schools.
