Sports Premium

What is the Sports Premium?

The funding is being provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see the money going directly to primary school Head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and P.E. for all of their children.

Each school will receive £16,000 plus an extra £10 per pupil (years 1-6) each year for the next 2 years. The money can be spent on sport and P.E. provision in schools. The money will be used so that all children benefit regardless of their sporting ability.

Purpose of the Funding

At Wilden All Saints we use the funding for a wide range of purposes as outlined on our Sports Premium Summary this includes funding coaches and PE teachers to deliver high quality Sports training to upskill staff and children. A proportion of the grant is also used to fund our place in the Stourport PE partnership (16%), which allows us to access training for staff and a range of competitive inter-school events for our children. The remaining funding is used to enhance the children’s individual and group experiences by funding transport to events; maintenance of existing equipment and use of facilities; new equipment and resources; and funding transport.
