PE and Sports Premium
The PE and Sports Premium is additional government funding provided to primary schools to help improve the quality of physical education and sports for all children. We believe every child should have the chance to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. Experiencing sport and physical activity positively from an early age helps children develop lifelong habits and supports their overall wellbeing. It also plays an important role in achieving the government’s vision for a world-class education system.
How we use the PE and Sport Premium: Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE), physical activity and sport we offer.
This means that we use the premium to:
-
develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport activities that we already offers
-
build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
Purpose of funding
Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy uses the premium to secure improvements in the following indicators:
-
the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
-
the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
-
increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
-
broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
