What is PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools?
The government is continuing to provide additional funding in order to develop provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. The aim at Thorney Close Primary School is to educate minds, develop healthy bodies, and promote positive attitudes towards lifetime physical activity, fitness, and sports skills. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in school. In order to find out more you can visit:

How will we invest this at Thorney Close Primary School?
At our school we have developed a provision plan to ensure this funding is invested (rather than ‘spent’) to maximise the long term impact of our PE provision for pupils and staff. The funding is invested in various ways and the impact of these initiatives is closely monitored through assessment of children’s skills, staff and pupil feedback, uptake of clubs etc. Ofsted inspection guidance lists the following factors to take into account:
- The increase in participation rates in such activities as games, dance, gymnastics, swimming and athletics
- The increase and success in competitive school sports
- How much more inclusive the physical education curriculum has become
- The growth in the range of traditional and alternative sporting activities
- The improvement in partnership work on physical education with other schools and other local partners
- Links with other subjects that contribute to pupils’ overall achievement and their greater social, spiritual, moral and cultural skills
- The greater awareness amongst pupils about the dangers of obesity, smoking and other such activities that undermine pupils’ health
