Sports Premium
What is the Sports Premium?
The Department of Education’s Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium is: “All pupils leaving primary school should be physically literate, with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.”
The funding for primary school PE and sport at Clifford in 2023/2024 will be £16,980.
At Clifford: We want to provide opportunities that will ensure all children can achieve basic, fundamental skills in PE that will set them up for future sporting achievements in and outside of the school setting. We believe that with a clear understanding of the importance of the fundamentals children will show more enjoyment in sporting activities. We hope this will enable them to gain the confidence and motivation to engage in a wide range of sports throughout their lives.
Purpose of funding
Schools spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport in order to:
- - Develop or add to the PE and sports activities that the school already offers
- - Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvement’s made now will benefit pupils joining the school in later years
It is expected that with this funding schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:
- Provide targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
- Encourage active play during break times and lunchtimes
- Establish, extend or funding attendance of school sport clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered
- Adopt an active mile initiative
- Raise attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2. Every child should leave primary school able to swim

Impact
The impact on the children overtime will be on improving healthy active lifestyles, increasing the amount of physical activity children take part in, fostering a love of physical activity and developing their skills and confidence through a range sporting opportunities, achievements and competitions. We hope this will enable them to gain the confidence and motivation to engage in a wide range of sports throughout their lives.
