PE and Sport premium for Primary Schools

The Department for Education is providing funding to every primary school to ensure there is a clear legacy for young people. This is intended to:

• Provide pupils with access to high quality sports coaching
• Enable pupils to experience a wider range of sports
• Widen pupil participation in sport
• Widen participation in competitive sports
• Create a sustainable legacy for sport within the primary school

Miss McFarlane will lead this with support from our qualified sports coach Mr Taylor.

For this academic year our Academy has received £18,000 in funding which will be spent as follows:

• The employment of a Sports and Fitness TA to support pupils throughout school both within lessons, during break / lunchtimes and after school
• Extending the range of lunchtime and after school sports clubs for children across school
• Widen pupil participation in sport and fitness based activities including Change 4 Life clubs and Fit in Five
• Raise the profile of sports and fitness through participation of a Sports Council
• Access to a greater range of competitions both within the North Stockton cluster and beyond
• Access to further professional development opportunities for staff throughout school
