PE & Sport Premium

PE and Sports Premium

At St Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School, we are committed to promoting healthy, active lifestyles and high-quality physical education for all our pupils.

🏅 What is the PE and Sport Premium?

The PE and Sport Premium is funding provided by the government to help primary schools improve the quality of their PE and sport provision. It is designed to ensure schools can build strong foundations in physical activity, health, and well-being, both in and beyond the curriculum.

💷 Current Funding

The government continues to allocate ring-fenced funding to all primary schools in England. This means the money must be spent specifically on developing PE, sport and physical activity.

The funding is jointly provided by the Department for Education, the Department for Health and Social Care, and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

⚽ How We Use the Funding

As a school we will aspire to offer the following provision –

• To improve the physical education experience for all children in our school.
• To increase physical activity opportunities for our children.
• To enable our children to enjoy a range of school sport outside of the curriculum.
• To ensure access for all children to high quality physical education lessons to develop fitness, stamina, health and well-being.
• To ensure the development of school sport is linked to wider agendas.  

St Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary school has decided to use the money to:

• Employ our PE coordinator to work alongside our teachers when teaching PE in order to strengthen teaching and learning in this subject across school.
• Support and engage the least active children in physical activities.
• Pay for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport.
• Increase pupils’ participation in the sports and physical activities.
• Provide places for pupils on after school sports clubs.
• Improve resources to support the development of the subject.

• Ensure our curriculum offers opportunities for pupils to develop the knowledge and understanding of what makes a healthy lifestyle.
• Forge links with the local community to enrich the PE provision within school.
• Ensure all our children have the opportunity to take part in festivals and competitions.
• Increase number of inter-school friendly matches.
• Introduce inter-house sports competitions.

We aim to ensure that our pupils are not only physically active but also develop teamwork, resilience, and a love of movement that lasts a lifetime.
