PE and Sport Premium

St John XXIII Catholic Primary School appreciates the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of its children. We also acknowledge that a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum and extra-curricular activities have a positive impact on concentration, attitude and achievement.

The objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:

• to support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives
• to embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity
• to increase participation levels in competitive sport and healthy activity of pupils, and maintain these into adolescence
• to make sure all children can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity and sport, no matter their background or ability
• to improve children’s health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment
• to improve the quality of existing PE teaching through continuing professional learning in PE for generalists, so that all primary pupils improve their health, skills and physical literacy, and have broader exposure to a range of sports

1. to increase the quality of initial teacher training in PE and sport, and to promote PE specialisation in primary level workforce
2. for schools to show that they understand and value the benefits of high quality PE and sport, including its use as a tool for whole school improvement
