Why PE & Sport Premium Funding ?   

Schools receive PE and Sport Premium Funding, based on the numbers of pupils in Years 1 to 6 , in order to improve the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. 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.

In most cases, this years allocation will have been determined by the Government based on the schools figures provided in the January census. 

This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision for PE and sport in schools. We, at St. Michael's C of E Primary, are 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 online 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 St. Michael's C of E Primary School.

Learning about water safety and knowing how to keep yourself safe in and around water is a life-skill and as such, government guidleines now state that these skills should be recognised and measured in the same ways as other key subjects such as maths.  All schools are expected to provide swimming lessons.
