What is the Primary PE and Sports Premium?
The Primary PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to help primary schools improve the quality of the physical education (PE), sport, and physical activity they offer. This funding is ring-fenced, meaning it can only be used to enhance PE and sport provision.
The four objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:
-
To improve the quality of PE teaching through continued professional development, so that all pupils develop their physical skills, health, and confidence, and experience a wider range of sports.
-
To increase participation in competitive sport and physical activity, and to encourage pupils to maintain these healthy habits into adolescence.
-
To raise the quality of initial teacher training in PE and promote PE specialism within the primary workforce.
-
To ensure schools recognise the wider benefits of high-quality PE and sport, using it as a tool to support whole-school improvement.
Our Approach at Colindale Primary School
At Colindale Primary School, we fully recognise the important role that PE and sport play in promoting the health, wellbeing, and personal development of our pupils. We believe that a rich and engaging PE curriculum, along with a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, contributes positively to pupils’ concentration, attitudes, and academic achievement.
