Our school receives PE and sport premium funding. Schools must use this funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport they provide. This includes any carried forward funding.

This means that we can use the PE and sport premium to:

• develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that your school provides
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

We can also use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators.

Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, for example by:

• providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
• encouraging active play during break times and lunchtimes
• establishing, extending or funding attendance of school sports clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered
• adopting an active mile initiative
• raising attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2 - every child should leave primary school able to swim.

How will we be spending the PE and sport premium funding and who will benefit?

The governors agree that the money must be used so that:

• All children benefit regardless of sporting ability.
• Children are given the opportunity to compete and participate in PE beyond the school day.
• Staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development.

How will we check its impact?

• The Headteacher and PE coordinator will be monitoring the take up of clubs and talking to children about PE.
• Attainment will be recorded and progress monitored as with other subjects.

PE and sport premium report: current

We are required to publish details of how we spend the PE and sport premium funding by the end of the summer term or by 31 July at the latest and will include:

• The amount of PE and sport premium received
• A full breakdown of how it has been spent
• The impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE, physical activity, and sport participation and attainment
• How the improvements will be sustainable in the future

The report will also include the percentage of pupils within your year 6 cohort in the 2022 to 2023 academic year who met the national curriculum requirement to:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• Use a range of strokes effectively. For example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke
• Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

Attainment data for year 6 pupils will also be provided from their most recent swimming lessons. This may be data from years 3, 4, 5 or 6, depending on the swimming programme.
