Sport premium

We are working hard to improve sports and PE within our school, to equip our students for a healthy, active lifestyle.

What is Sports Premium?

The government is providing additional funding to improve provision of Physical Education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding is provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and will be allocated to primary school Headteachers. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

This means that schools should use the premium to:

Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that school already offers.
Make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years and link to the premium grant conditions and vision below.

Vision: ALL pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

Objective: To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools against 5 key indicators:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that primary school children undertake at least 30mins of physical activity a day at school (kick-starting healthy active lifestyles).
The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
Increased participation in competitive sport.

Ponteland Primary School will use the PE & School Sports Premium Funding in conjunction with other grants and funds from the school budget to continue to raise standards in the Physical Education curriculum and to develop school sport and increase physical activity. PE and sport play an important part in our offer at Ponteland Primary School and so we invest beyond the money received from the sports premium.
