What is the PE and Sports Premium?

The Government has provided funding of £150 million per annum across all primary schools and academies to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to Primary Schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

Purpose of Funding

Schools will have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and  sport, but they will have the freedom to choose they do this.

Sport at St Mary's

PE covers gymnastics, net & wall games, dance, invasion games and various team sports.

In addition to this we also work with Radcliffe Borough and local karate clubs to bring additional opportunities to the children.

We have both girls and boys football teams who join in various competitions throughout the year.

Swimming is undertaken by year 4 pupils with follow up sessions in year 5 & 6 as needed.

Our varied programme is made possible with a Sports Premium Grant from the Government.  This funding is used to achieve sustained improvements to PE and sport, thereby encouraging the development of healthy and active lifestyles of our pupils.
