PRIMARY PE AND SPORT PREMIUM
We believe PE and School Sport plays an important role for every pupil, with the potential to change young peoples lives for the better by engaging in physical activity and sport.
We have welcomed the Governments announcement in June 2013 to provide additional funding to improve the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. We are committed to using this resource in developing high quality PE lessons, alongside greater opportunities for sporting competitions, clubs and events for our young people both within school and the wider community.
We are part of ‘The Deans Sports Partnership’ which involves the following schools; Downs View Special School, Longhill High School, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School, Rudyard Kipling Primary School, Saltdean Primary School, St.Margarets Primary School and Woodingdean Primary School.
Woodingdean Primary School is the ‘host’ school and the partnership employs Mr.D Hambrook who is an Advanced Skills Teacher of PE to work and support alongside the partnership schools. Other staff are used within the partnership throughout the year.
This year we received £19,550 in funding to improve PE and Sports activities at Woodingdean Primary. This is how we have spent the funding this year, please view the document below to see a more detailed breakdown of how this money has been distributed.
