PE and Sport Premium
The government provides additional funding to help schools improve physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.
Read in detail about how we have used our Sports Premium below:

The impact of the partnership has been as follows:

- Ofsted criteria training for PE Lead.
- Free entry to all School Games competitions and KS1 Future Stars festivals.
- Free online fitness tools for all children to access (5-a-day fitness).
- Monitoring support against Sainsbury’s School Games Kitemark criteria and Ofsted criteria
