PE & Sports Funding
We offer the children high quality sports provision, both in curriculum PE delivery as well as during morning break and lunchtime.

We understand the importance of a healthy body, a healthy mind and living a healthy lifestyle. We believe that children’s physical development will strongly influence their health and opportunities throughout life.

We have invested in our sports provision. Outdoor areas include:
- a M.U.G.A. (multi use games area)
- KS1 Fitness park
- a range of gym equipment
- a fitness assault course
- a large playing field with football goals
- an outdoor play yard with basketball nets and table tennis tables.

Sports Funding
Since 2013, the government has provided funding directly to primary schools to improve provision of PE and sport activities offered to pupils.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on sustainable improvements for the provision of PE and sport.
Our wide range of extra-curricular activities and strong sporting tradition are just two of the things that attract families and using this funding we have sought to widen sporting participation and opportunities offered to all our children.
