Sports Premium
Annually Goldsworth receives in the region of £20,000 in Sports Premium. The money is designed to improve provision of physical education (PE), other physical activities and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. However, schools will have the freedom to choose how they do this. Our aim is to use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer by developing or adding to our Goldsworth sport and PE offer.
There are 5 key indicators that we aim to meet from the support of the funding, these include:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school.
- The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement.
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
- Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
- Increased participation in competitive sport.
