Academic Year: September 2023 - August 2024

Total fund allocated:

£17,780

Purpose of the premium

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

The Secretary of State does not consider the following expenditure as falling within the scope of additional or sustainable improvement:

• employing coaches or specialist teachers to cover planning preparation and assessment (PPA) arrangements - these should come out of schools’ core staffing budgets
• teaching the minimum requirements of the existing PE curriculum.

Overview of St Joseph’s Catholic Primary’s strategies for improving pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment and giving pupils the opportunity to develop a healthy, active lifestyle.

We spend our PE and sport funding in the following ways to improve PE and sport participation and to enable pupils to develop a healthy, active

lifestyle:

• Exposing the children to a wide range of sporting activities and sports clubs.
• Having access to highly skilled professional coaches that can support children in performing to their individual best.

Our rationale for spending the money in this way is:

• Through making strong connections with local sporting companies, we encourage our families to participate in activities and to join sports

clubs within their local community and outside of school times.

• We offer some of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged children the opportunity to experience sports/sporting events and activities

that they would otherwise not have access to.

How the improvements made will be sustainable in the future:

• Our aim is to instil a passion and enthusiasm for sport that will be life-long for our children and their families.

• Our hope is that our families and young people will take part in local sports clubs, creating a greater sense of community and sharing

through the love of sport and being active.

• Changing attitudes and life styles, in the hope of sustainability in the fight against obesity.
