Sports Premium
The Sports Premium is funding provided by the government to help primary schools improve the quality of physical education (PE), sport and physical activity.
Purpose of the funding
The aim is to make sustainable improvements to the way schools deliver PE and encourage lifelong healthy, active lifestyles.
Schools must use the funding to:
Increase opportunities for pupils to take part in physical activity
Raise the profile of PE and sport across the school
Provide staff with training and resources to improve PE teaching
Introduce new sports and activities
Improve facilities and equipment for PE and play
Develop links with local sports clubs and organisations
How we use the Sports Premium
At Netherton, we use the funding to:
Provide specialist sports coaching and extracurricular clubs
Purchase high-quality PE equipment
Train staff to deliver engaging PE lessons
Organise sporting competitions and events
Promote active play and wellbeing during break times
How improvements will be sustained?
The school will ensure that improvements made through the PE and Sport Premium are sustainable by continuing to develop staff knowledge, skills and confidence through professional development and by embedding successful activities and approaches within the school’s ongoing PE and physical activity provision. This will enable improvements to continue to benefit both current and future pupils.
