PE and Sports Premium

What is the Sports Premium?

The Government is providing funding of £150 million per annum to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding’.

This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.

The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

Purpose of funding

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

Possible uses for the funding include:

hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
new or additional sport clubs
paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games
buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/sport
providing places for pupils on after school sport clubs and holiday clubs.

How will we be spending the Sports Funding and who will benefit?

Swimming Subsidy For Key Stage 2 Children

Swimming is part of the National Curriculum and before children leave our school it is expected that they are able to meet the objectives highlighted below.

At Hermitage, all year 3 and 4 children go swimming each year throughout their time in Key Stage 2.

Qualified sports coaches

The school has a qualified coach to deliver PE lessons which include: invasion games, gymnastic, striking and fielding games .

This initiative will benefit all children from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Year 6. Over the year the coach will work with different key stages, ensuring all children have access to high quality PE sessions. The coach also runs sensory PE lessons to support physical development for our SEND children.
