The Sports Premium Funding is a Government grant used to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport for the benefit of primary school children. In particular, it can be used for activities such as:
- To ensure that PE provision is of high quality both within the core day and the extended day, including our lunch offer and before/after school clubs
- To improve participation rates in a wider range of sports and PE activities
- To offer a wide range of sports activities
- To develop a love of sport and physical activities
- To promote opportunities for competitive sport and physical activity within school and beyond.
At Halley House School, we believe that a rich PE and sports curriculum directly and positively impacts our pupils’ physical and mental health. Our curriculum is designed to maximise opportunity for all, ensuring focus groups receive targeted intervention, and pupils enjoy a range of experiences they may not get otherwise.
Our PE curriculum is designed to balance overall fitness development and the acquisition of key skills and knowledge for a range of sports and games. Funding is utilised to broaden and deepen experiences and remove barriers pupils may face. We are committed to the ongoing development of our on-site provision, and a wide range of community spaces (including sports centres, outdoor ball courts and an Astro pitch at a local secondary school) are extensively utilised across our year groups to raise aspiration and keep our community moving.
