Sports Funding at Great Kimble C of E School

Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 per year plus an additional £10 per eligible pupil. 

As outlined by The Department of Education the Primary PE and Sport Funding must be used to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that our school already offers
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

The four objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:

• To improve the quality of existing PE teaching through continuing professional learning in PE for generalists, so that all primary pupils improve their health, skills and physical literacy, and have broader exposure to a range of sports
• To increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils, and maintain these into adolescence
• To increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport, and to promote PE specialisation in primary level workforce
• Schools understand and value the benefits of high quality PE and sport, including its use as a tool for whole school improvement.

The 5 Key Indicators:

1. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity

2. Profile of PE and sport is raised across the school

3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and Sport

4. Broader experience of a range of sports

5. Increased participation in competitive sport.

• Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with primary teachers when teaching PE
• Supporting and engaging the least active children
• Paying for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport
• Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE and sport
• Running sport competitions, or increasing pupils’ participation in the School Games
