After The London Olympics and Paralympics Games in 2010, the Government was determined to secure a significant and lasting legacy from the games where they wanted to continue to inspire the nation to enjoy sports. Therefore the Government announced that a new funding of £150 million was available to schools for physical education and sport. This funding is to be used to improve the quality of PE and sport provision.
How we will spend Sports Premium in 2021-22
For the academic year 2021/22 we have been allocated £18,560 for use as PE and Sports Premium. We intend to use this funding to improve pupils’ experience and attainment in PE and Sport in the seven following areas:
- Increase participation rates across a wide range of sports/sporting activities
- Healthy Schools Accreditation/Active Travel (TfL)
- Additional Swimming Lessons
- School Games Accreditation
- Recognising and developing pathways for Gifted & Talented performers
- Extra-Curricular Club Provision
- Staff CPD
- Equipment
For full details of our rationale for this, and the proportions of funding allocated to each area, please see our full report below:
