Our Principles and Objectives
The Sports Premium is used to fund and maintain the standards of additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-age pupils, in the 2024 to 2025 academic year, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles. Schools are free to spend the Sports Premium as they see fit. However, our approach and vision for our pupils is to ensure that all are offered ‘rich opportunities and memorable experiences’ and that those from poorer socio-economic backgrounds do not suffer barriers which hamper their progress and attainment.

We believe that:

- All of our children should and will benefit from the teaching and learning opportunities that Sport Premium funding provides.

- Appropriate provision is made for all pupils belonging to vulnerable groups, including those who are from socially and economically disadvantaged groups.

- Our Sport Premium funding should be spent in a wide and imaginative variety of ways, so as to benefit the wide variety of interests and needs of our children.

- Whilst there are some ‘quick wins’, there is a need to also take a ‘long term view’ to stop achievement gaps from widening. Some of our long-term objectives will take more than an academic year to come to fruition.
