The Reddings Primary & Nursery School

Sports Premium 

 Background

The Government has provided annual funding of £150 million to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding in order to improve the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. This funding has been jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and the money goes directly to schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. All state-maintained schools, academies, middle schools, special schools and pupil referral units which have primary aged pupils (as reported in the 2013 school census) are receiving this funding.

This funding has been ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision for PE and sport in schools. We are now held accountable for how we use the additional funding to support pupils’ progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish on-line information about how we have used the additional funding, including details about our sporting provision alongside curriculum details. This has ensured that parents/carers and others are made fully aware of the PE and sporting provision at The Reddings.

Allocation

All schools with 17 or more primary-aged pupils will receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.

Below is our Sports Premium Summary which shows how the funding has been spent and the impact it has had.

Sports Premium Priorities

The Reddings should prioritise Premium spending to make improvements in the following key areas:

  •  increasing confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sporting activities

  • increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sporting activities

  • raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement

  • offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils

  • increasing participation in competitive sport.
