Thorney Close Primary SchoolSports Premium
The Government continues to provide additional funding to strengthen physical education and sport in primary schools. At Thorney Close Primary School, our aim is to inspire young minds, promote healthy bodies, and foster positive attitudes towards lifelong participation in physical activity, fitness, and sport.
This funding is ring-fenced, meaning it can only be used to support PE and sport within the school. Please click on the document below for further information.
At Thorney Close Primary School, we place high importance on sport, physical activity, and promoting healthy lifestyles. Through the effective use of Sports Premium funding, we are committed to developing high-quality PE provision that inspires all pupils to achieve their personal best. Our focus is aligned with the five key priorities: enhancing staff expertise in teaching PE and sport, engaging every pupil in regular physical activity, raising the profile of PE and sport across the whole school, broadening the range of inclusive opportunities available, and increasing participation in competitive sport. By embedding these priorities, we aim to ensure that every pupil develops the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm needed to lead an active and healthy life both now and in the future.
Our Allocation
For the current academic year, our funding is based on 226 pupils. This includes a lump sum of £16,000 plus per-pupil funding of £2,260 (£10 × 226), giving a total of £18,260. There was no carry-over from the previous year, and the full amount has been allocated to planned provision. The funding was received in two instalments: £10,652 in the first payment and £7,608 in the second.
Our PE and Sport Lead, Mr Drane, is responsible for:
-
Ensuring all staff deliver high-quality PE lessons.
-
Coordinating after-school sports activities.
-
Developing and overseeing a whole-school PE strategy.
