Sports Pupil Premium
The primary PE and Sport Premium was introduced in 2013 to improve the provision of PE and sport in primary schools. The funding is provided directly to schools and is ring-fenced through to 2023.
The PE and Sport Premium must be spent by schools on making additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport activities that schools already offer and/or make improvements that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
Sport Premium funding is managed directly by the school who ensures it is implemented consistently across the school. At Shrubland Street Primary we are fully committed to ensuring the best possible PE and sport outcomes for our pupils. PE and Sport Premium funding is used to tailor support for pupils of all abilities in a range of ways which meet their individual needs, interests and skills.
An action plan for the current academic year and a detailed breakdown of the use and impact of funding from the previous year can be found below:
Our Principles:
- We allocate PE and Sport premium funding following a careful needs analysis which identifies pupils with priority needs and also makes a contribution to the opportunities provided for all pupils, whatever their needs, skills, abilities and interests.
- We make appropriate provision for all pupils who are members of vulnerable groups, including those identified as socially or economically disadvantaged.
- We aim to allocate the funding to a range of activities which benefit our current pupils whilst, at the same time, building in plans for longer-term sustainability.
- Our PE and Sports Premium is clearly identifiable in school budgets and plans.
- Our PE and Sports Premium is spent according to best value principles and related to activities which make the best use of the finances available.
- We have high expectations for the provision of PE and sport and recognise the importance of quality first teaching in this curriculum area.
- We use the funding to accelerate pupils’ progress in PE and sport and assist them in reaching age-related expectations and above.
- We track, monitor and evaluate the impact of funding on pupils’ outcomes and staff deployment.
- The school reports on the impact of the funding to staff, parents and the Governing Body.
