Sports Premium
At Bearwood Primary and Nursery school, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.
The Sport Premium is designed to help children get an active start in life, supporting primary schools to improve the quality of their PE and sport provision so that pupils experience the benefits of regular exercise – from becoming healthier both mentally and physically to improved behaviour and better academic achievement. The funding is a ring-fenced grant for English primary schools to provide additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity. Allocations to schools are determined by a formula based on pupil numbers.
Schools are required to publish information about their use of the Sport Premium on their website. Please speak to our Headteacher or PE Leader via the school office if you require any further details.
What we are doing?
We are keen to ensure our Sports Premium has maximum long-term impact on the quality of provision. This means we are focusing on two main areas:
- Developing and adding to the PE and Sport that Bearwood already offers, through clubs, coaches and broadening the children of Bearwood’s experiences of physical activity. We recognise the strong links between physical and mental wellbeing and are keen to foster a love of sport and activity within our learners.
- Building capacity and capability within Bearwood to ensure improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
By carefully considering how our premium will be spent using best practice, we aim for all pupils leaving Bearwood Primary and Nursery School to be physically literate and with the knowledge, skills, and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle.
