PE & Sport Premium

All children and young people should live healthy active lives. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that all children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day.

Schools have a key role to play in achieving this aim. This is particularly true of primary schools where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded. All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Academic achievement can improve in school because of the benefits children can gain.

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims.

Sports and PE are a core priority of the Grove Park curriculum and incorporates our underlying values of a personal growth model of teaching which recognises children’s physical development as a fundamental and essential part of learning. We understand the importance of physical health as a foundation to successful learning in all areas. Sports and PE play a key role in our school curriculum, supported fully and led by our dedicated PE teacher who coordinates all aspects of PE and active, healthy lifestyles across the school – this includes our Healthy Schools Week, which is a much-loved and integral part of our school year at Grove Park.

The PE & Sport Premium is government spending for improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools from 2013. This extra funding is allocated directly to primary schools. The overview for the current academic year's PE & Sport Premium at Grove Park Primary School is available below.
