What is the Sports Premium?

The funding for this project is provided from Government Departments with an aim to improve physical education (PE) and sporting provision across all primary schools. This money is provided to primary schools and can only be spent on PE and sport and is designed to improve the range and quality of sports available to children.

How can the money be spent?

Schools have the freedom to choose how they spend the money providing it directly impacts on PE provision. Some possible examples include:
Increasing pupil participation in all levels of competition
Employing specialist coaches to work with pupils and teachers
Provide extra resources and training to improve current sporting provision and to develop the range of sports offered
Jointly use the funding to improve participation with local schools
Encourage less active or minority groups to be involved in sporting activities and clubs
Develop both competitive and non-competitive sporting activities within school and across schools

How does Rushwick CE Primary School use the funding?
