PE and Sport Premium
What is the PE and Sport Premium?
The government is providing new, substantial primary school sport funding. The money is going directly to primary schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE provision to benefit all children regardless of their sporting ability. Each school receives £8000 plus an extra £5 per pupil each year for the next two years.
What will we do with the funding?
All schools have the freedom on how to spend the sport funding they receive. At St Francis of Assisi we recognise the contribution of PE and aim to develop a balanced programme offering a variety of activities to enhance skills in physical education and beyond. Positive participation in physical education will enable children to build self-esteem, team work and positive attitudes in P.E.
We aim to:
- Develop confidence, skills, knowledge and independence
- Pursue excellence and be proud of achievements
- Educate children to improve health and wellbeing
- Provide quality opportunities for children outside of school time
- Promote fair play and respect
