Sports Premium What is the Sports Premium Grant? The Government is spending over £450 million on improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools from 2013. Rural schools have been given additional funding from the sugar tax to provide extra outdoor opportunities.
This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. All state-maintained schools, academies, middle schools, special schools and pupil referral units which have primary aged pupils will receive the funding.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision for PE and sport in schools. We will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish on-line information about how we have used the additional funding, including details about our sporting provision alongside curriculum details. This will ensure that parents/carers and others are made fully aware of the PE and sporting provision at Wark.

How have we planned to spend it?
For the last academic year, 2017 – 2018, we continued our membership of the TSSP to improve the expertise of our own staff for the additional teaching sessions. We continued to provide swimming lessons for a term, as well as a range of after-school clubs run by external staff and our own staff.
Impact: We will evaluate the impact of the Sports Premium funding as part of our normal self-evaluation and provision mapping arrangements. We will look at how well we use our Sport Premium to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sporting provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.
Measuring the impact of the activities provided with the funding can be achieved in different ways. We will look at progress in PE as well as other areas of development such as self-esteem, confidence and the numbers of pupils involved in sporting activities in and out of school. Assessments are made by formally and informally using our school assessment systems as well as feedback from staff and visitors to the school. We will also evaluate the impact of professional development opportunities in improving teaching and learning in P.E. It is anticipated that at the end of the academic year we will have some data to show the impact of this sports premium funding on pupil progress and involvement in sport.
As a result of our ongoing work in PE, we have now achieved the 'Gold Sportsmark Award' which will be presented later this year.
