Premium Allocations

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and in 2012–13 individual schools were allocated funding for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from families with parents in the Armed Forces.

Sports Premium

Department for Education Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium

ALL pupils leaving primary school should be physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school.
The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
Broader experience of a range of sport and activities offered to all pupils
Increased participation in competitive sport

The following plans show how the premium is being allocated in our school:

Swimming

At our school we encourage children to become confident in swimming. In 2021/2022, 38% of Year 6 were assessed as able to swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres. There was 36% of children who could swim using a range of strokes. There was 21% who were able to perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations. These percentages are lower than previous years due to Covid-19 school closures. Children were unable to take part in swimming lessons during this time which has affected this year’s percentages. These figures have improved from last year and should continue to improve in the future with consistent swimming lessons.
