Sport Premium

PE and Sport Premium

 

We spend our PE and sport funding in the following ways to improve PE and sport participation and to enable pupils to develop a healthy, active lifestyle: 

 

• Exposing the children to a wide range of sporting activities and sports clubs. 

• Having access to highly skilled professional coaches that can support children in performing to their individual best. 

 

Our rationale for spending the money in this way is: 

• Through making strong connections with local sporting companies, we encourage our families to participate in activities and to join sports clubs within their local community and outside of school times. 

• We offer some of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged children the opportunity to experience sports/sporting events and activities that they would otherwise not have access to. 

 

How the improvements made will be sustainable in the future: 

• Our aim is to instil a passion and enthusiasm for sport that will be life-long for our children and their families. 

• Our hope is that our families and young people will take part in local sports clubs, creating a greater sense of community and sharing through the love of sport and being active. 

• Changing attitudes and life styles, in the hope of sustainability in the fight against obesity.

Catchup Funding

 

Statement from the Government

 

The government believe that children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit. The aggregate impact of lost time in education will be substantial, and the scale of response must match the scale of the challenge.

 

We know that we have the professional knowledge and expertise in the education system to ensure that children and young people recover and get back on track. Returning to normal educational routines as quickly as possible will be critical to our national recovery, and the government intends for schools and colleges to fully open in September.

 

The government has announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up. This includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for lost teaching time.

 

Although all children have had their education disrupted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, it is likely that disadvantaged and vulnerable groups will have been hardest hit. That is why, alongside the universal catch-up premium, we are launching a £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help.
