What is the PE and Sports Grant?

The Education Funding Agency additional funding to each school is to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – has been allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. Please see attached files which identify the planning and delivery of these initiatives.

Sports Funding

Our Primary School Sport’s Funding has enabled us to continue and extend our provision through employing additional sports professionals, entering into more competitive and fully inclusive sports competitions for all our children and training our staff to deliver in-house high quality PE sessions.

At Sacred Heart we really enjoy taking part in a wide variety of competitive and non-competitive sporting events, including football, netball, tag rugby, tennis, athletics, balance bikes, cross country and swimming.

In PE, children have year round opportunities to develop physical skills, knowledge and confidence through gymnastics, multi-skills games, dance and athletics.

We promote the importance of being active and healthy, linking our PE and PSHE curriculums.

As well as sporting excellence, strong emphasis is placed upon positive attitudes, enjoyment and inclusion.
