PE and Sports Grant Report

 

Evidence for the Impact of Primary PE and Sport Premium - 2025-2026

The school will receive PE and sports premium to fund “..additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils, …..to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.” (extract from ESFA guidelines)

St Cyprian’s Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium

ALL pupils on leaving our school will be physically literate; equipped with the knowledge, skills and motivation for lifelong participation in physical activity and sport necessary to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

We do this by continuing to:

  1. Raise the profile of PE and sport within the school
  2. Increase participation of competitive sports with other schools in the Borough
  3. Expand the range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
  4. Provide training to PE and sports teaching staff to enable them to provide the highest standards of sports teaching and coaching to pupils.
