Sports-Premium-2018-2019

St. Mary’s Primary School.

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school headteachers.

This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Purpose of funding

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

From September 2013, schools will be held to account over how they spend their additional, ring-fenced funding. Ofsted will strengthen the coverage of PE and sport within the ‘Inspectors’ handbook’ and supporting guidance so that both schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision.

Schools will also be required to include details of their provision of PE and sport on their website, alongside details of their broader curriculum, so that parents can compare sports provision between schools, both within and beyond the school day.

St. Mary’s Primary School will be using the money (c£9,000) to fund the work carried out by the Sports Leader to supporting teachers and bringing expertise to the P.E. lessons, run sports competitions and increase participation in School Games.  We will also look to buying new sports resources and potentially pooling any additional funding with other school within the Trust to fund e.g. Trust related sports days, buying in specialist coaches.
