Gilbert Colvin Primary School - Sports Premium Grant

Sports Premium Grant

Background

The government has been providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools since 2013. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - is allocated annually. Sports Premium funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Purpose of Funding

Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

How will we be using our funding?

To provide all pupils with access to high quality PE lessons which develops fitness, stamina, and health and well-being.
To continue improving the curriculum by offering opportunities for pupils to develop their knowledge and understanding of what makes a healthy lifestyle.
To forge links with the local community sports clubs/centres to enrich the PE provision within school.
Offering a greater range of after-school clubs with specialist coaches.
Develop the existing playground facilities to encourage active play for all pupils.
To provide teachers/coaches with the opportunity for CPD.
