The funding has been provided to ensure impact against the following OBJECTIVE:

To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools. It is important to emphasise that the focus of spending must lead to long lasting impact against the vision (above) that will live on well beyond the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.

It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:

1. the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles

2. the profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement

3. increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport

4. broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils

5. increased participation in competitive sport

Under the Ofsted Schools Inspection Framework 2019, inspectors will assess how effectively leaders use the Primary PE and Sport Premium and measure its impact on outcomes for pupils, and how effectively governors hold them to account for this. Schools are required to publish details of how they spend this funding and the effect it has had on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment.

This year our school has been allocated £16,700 by the government to support the delivery of PE and sport to our pupils.  The digram below shows how the funding will be used to broaden the PE/Sport curriculum and the quality of after-school sport provision being offered to your child. It also shows how we plan access a competitive sports package offered across the district, by purchasing membership of the Shepway School Games event calendar run by the Shepway Sports Trust.
