Sports Premium

The Sport Premium is a government funded support package targeting physical education and sport in primary schools. £450, 000, 000 is allocated to drive improvement over a four-year period, encompassing the previous two academic years. This funding is ring-fenced and is allocated directly to primary schools across England. Funding is allocated as a lump sum for each setting and a per-pupil top up mechanism. All schools with seventeen or more primary aged pupils (aged 5-11) receive a lump sum of £16,000 and an additional top-up premium of £10 per pupil.

At Park Brow, our commitment is to use The Sport Premium to achieve a number of core ambitions. These include:

• Provide a systemically progressive physical education curriculum.
• Enhance pupil participation within and outside of the curriculum.
• Support and deliver continued professional development for all colleagues.
• Ensure that pupil attitudes to PE and sport are consistently positive.
• Extend and develop links with outside specialist sport providers (including sports not commonly accessed by our children).
• Provide every child with the opportunity to compete and represent Park Brow in an interschool and intra school competition.
• Identify strengths and areas of development within school and use this information as the foundations of future action planning.
• Provide a wider range of sports to encourage disengaged and / or disadvantaged pupils to participate.
• Share best practices and current government / sporting organisation initiatives.
• Support links with other subjects to contribute to pupils’ overall achievement, encompassing spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding.
