PE and Sport Premium
What is the Sports Premium?
Sports education is very important to us, so we devote a lot of time to it, because we want to develop our pupils not only as advanced writers, scientists, mathematicians, geographers, artists or linguists, but also as athletes.
The Department for Education (DfE) are spending over £450 million on improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools over 3 academic years. The funding was first issued for the academic year 2013/2014 and it has continued and has extended beyond the 3 years. The funding will be allocated directly to primary school’s to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all pupils.

Swimming
Twelve boys out of the cohort of 17 can swim at least 25 metres, being able to use a range of different strokes and performing safe self-rescue in different water-based situations. The 12 boys can also swim in their back and are developing into confident swimmers.
Some children are still using a swimming aid.
