The P.E. and Sport Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the P.E. and sport activities they offer their pupils.

Since 2013 the government has invested over £600 million on this funding.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of P.E. and sport in schools.

The funding is calculated as follows:

Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £1000 per pupil.
Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.

How we use the P.E. and sport premium.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

We use our our premium to:

Develop or add to the P.E. and sport activities that your school already offers.
Make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

KS2 Swimming and Water Safety (Year 4 – February 2025)

As part of our ongoing swimming provision, our Year 4 cohort has been assessed against the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety.

As of February 2025:

• 69% of pupils are currently meeting the expected National Curriculum standard.
• 31% of pupils are not yet meeting the full KS2 standard and will continue to receive additional support.

Pupils meeting the standard are able to:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
• Use a range of strokes effectively
• Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

Next Steps

It is our ambition, like in previous years, Pupils who are not yet meeting the required standard will continue to receive targeted swimming provision, with the goal that all pupils are supported to meet the statutory expectation by the end of Key Stage 2.
