PE and Sport Premium at Overseal Primary

Sports funding for primary schools in England refers to the PE and Sport Premium, a government initiative that provides additional funding to improve physical education, sport, and physical activity opportunities for children. The aim is to ensure all pupils develop healthy lifestyles, engage in regular physical activity, and experience high-quality PE lessons.

Schools can use this funding for things like:

• Hiring specialist PE teachers or coaches.
• Purchasing new sports equipment.
• Offering a wider range of sports and activities.
• Providing staff training to improve PE teaching.
• Organising sports competitions and extracurricular clubs.

At Overseal Primary, this funding plays a vital role in creating a positive and enriching primary education experience. It helps children:

• Build confidence and teamwork skills.
• Discover talents and “shine” in areas beyond the classroom.
• Develop healthy habits that support their overall well-being.
• Feel included and motivated through diverse sporting opportunities.
