PE and Sports Funding
All maintained schools have benefited from additional funding in the form of the PE & Sports Grant. Our allocation for the Academic Year 2017/18 is £19,670 and will be funded over two financial years (2016/17 & 2017/18). This funding had the following objectives.
- To increase the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick starting healthy active lifestyles
- To increase the profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- To increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- To offer a broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- To increase participation in competitive sport
