Sports Premium
Since 2013 the Government has provided funding for primary school’s sport activities. This funding is jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and goes directly to schools 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.
Each school receives £16,000 plus an extra £5 per pupil in Years 1 – 6 each year. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. The money will be used so that all children benefit regardless of their sporting ability. At The Grove Primary School, we will receive £17,390.00 in 2018-19.
Purpose of the Funding
All schools have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but there is freedom to choose how we do it. At the Grove Primary School we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. In addition, we believe that an innovative and varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all children.
Sport and PE At The Grove Primary School
In order to create sustainable, enjoyable and competitive sport within our school we offer a wide variety of sports, competitions and after school clubs which are accessible by all. We have a long term curriculum plan from EYFS to Year 6 with planning and assessment resources to inform future teaching and planning. The coverage and opportunities offered to all learners are carefully planned to fit in with all intra- school and inter- school competitions. We have a traditional sports day every year and enter teams into: football, cross country and athletics competitions to name but a few. After school clubs include: netball, football coaching and mini sports.
