Sports Premium

At Shaw Hill Primary School, we believe that PE and sport should develop pupils’ enjoyment, confidence and skills in physical activity, whilst promoting personal, social, intellectual and physical development. PE and sport involves introducing pupils to the world of sport and physical activity, which, combined with an enjoyment of exercise, provides the foundations for healthy, active lifestyles in adulthood. Therefore, we aim to offer our pupils nothing but the best with regards to their PE and sports provision.

To help us meet this aim, we are committed to using the sport premium funding to develop a broad and varied PE provision for each of our pupils, and we have distributed our sport premium allocation for 2023-2024 to aid with the costs of providing this.

Developing high-quality provision has been achieved in a variety of ways. This has included staff CPD training, some of which has been focused on driving and increasing confidence in the use of apparatus and equipment, alongside providing CPD to ensure that all staff are assured in delivering high-quality lessons which enable all pupils to fulfil their potential in PE and sport. The sport premium funding has also helped to ensure that our resources and equipment are up-to-date, safe and of a high standard, for use both within PE lessons and during pupils’ free time.  We have provided workshops to teach pupils skills that they might not ordinarily develop, alongside workshops that provide pupils with both a rich knowledge of the physiology behind exercise and the importance of leading healthy lifestyles. Our pupils have been offered a breadth of clubs, including fencing, archery, football and others, and the uptake for these clubs has been tremendous. Pupils have also engaged in competition, both within and outside of the school.
