PE and Sport Premium

Supporting healthy, active and happy children

At Irk Valley Primary School, we believe that physical education, sport and physical activity play an important role in every child's development. Being active helps our children to develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and positive relationships, as well as supporting their physical health and emotional wellbeing.

We are committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, ability or starting point, has opportunities to enjoy physical activity, develop new skills and experience success.

The PE and Sport Premium is additional funding provided by the government to help primary schools improve the quality of physical education, sport and physical activity.

We use this funding strategically to:

• Improve the quality of PE teaching through staff training and professional development.

• Encourage children to be active throughout the school day.

• Broaden the range of sports and physical activities available to our pupils.

• Increase participation in extracurricular activities, sporting events and competitions.

• Remove barriers to participation so that all children can enjoy and benefit from physical activity.

• Ensure improvements are sustainable and continue to benefit pupils in future years.

Our ambition is not simply to develop sporting skills, but to help every child discover the enjoyment, confidence and sense of belonging that being active can bring.

How we use our funding

We carefully plan, monitor and evaluate our use of the PE and Sport Premium to ensure it makes a positive and lasting difference for our children.
