PE and Sport Premium Funding

We have received our funding allocation for 2024-2025.  We have been allocated £19,040

Purpose of the premium

The purpose of the PE and sport premium grant is for schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

This means schools must use the PE and sport premium to:

• Build capacity and capability within the school and ensure that improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity provision made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years; and
• Develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides

The Department for Education (DfE) has published information on how much PE and sport premium funding primary schools receive, and advice on how to spend it.

 

Basis of allocation

Allocations for the academic year 2024 to 2025 are calculated using the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, as recorded in the January 2024 census, as follows:

• schools with 17 or more pupils receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil

• schools with 16 or fewer pupils receive £1,000 per pupil

Schools must publish:

• the amount of premium received

• a full breakdown of how it has been spent, or will be spent by 31 July 2025

• what impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment

• how the improvements will be sustainable in the future

• the percentage of pupils within their year 6 cohort for academic year 2022 to 2023 that can do each of the following:

• 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

If selected, schools must also take part in a sampling review to scrutinise their compliance with these terms.
