Sports Funding.

The Government provide funding to all schools to improve the provision of Physical Education and Sport in Primary Schools.

This funding can only be spent on improving provision of PE and Sport, for example by hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified Sports Coaches, to support and involve children in after school clubs and activities, providing resources and training in PE and Sports for teachers, to run competitions and increase children’s participation in PE and Sports including with children from other schools.

Our focus at St Marys C of E (VC) Primary School  has been to:

• Undertake an audit of current provision and identify needs.
• Hire Specialist Sports Coaches to work alongside staff in PE/Games lessons.
• To provide CPD (professional Development) for our staff team.
• Sports Specialists hired to provide workshops for children, specialist working alongside school staff.
• Sports Club opportunity for KS2 after school led by Specialist Sports Coach.
• Provide transport to and from sports events where they occur
