PE & Sports Premium Grant

Department for education vision for the primary PE and Sport Premium

All pupils leaving primary school physically literate wand with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

At Suttons Primary School we believe that sports and extra curriculum clubs play an important  role in promoting social inclusion, healthy lifestyles and self-confidence.

WHAT IS THE PE AND SPORTS PREMIUM
From September 2013, the government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary school.  This funding – provided jointly by the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school Head teachers and is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE FUNDING?
Our aim is to maintain the quality and quantity of sports and after-school clubs, inter and intra school competitions, as well as to raise opportunities for pupils to try different activities whilst raising participation numbers.

At Suttons Primary School we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. 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.  Furthermore through sports and physical activity we aim to develop a greater awareness about dangers, such as obesity, smoking and other such activities that can have a detrimental impact upon pupil health and well-being.

HOW WILL FUNDING BE USED AT SUTTONS PRIMARY SCHOOL?
The money will be used so that all children benefit regardless of their sporting abilities.  We will continue to place high priority on our PE curriculum and, as such, have invested in additional staffing and resources to further enhance the PE curriculum as well as extra-curricular sports during before, during and after school.

Other uses of the funding:

• To pay for cover staff to undertake professional development opportunities.
• To pay for membership to the Havering Sports Collective this provides competitions, curriculum support and specialised sports coaches.
• Continued professional development (CPD) and network meetings for the PSHE Leader.
• To provide a subsidy for those in need to access afterschool clubs.
• To pay for resources to be replenished and kept up to date.
• To help fund Healthy Schools Week within the school.
