Sports Funding

From academic year 2013 the government has provided additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. In 2019/20 school received £17,800 to support school sport and will receive the same amount in 2020/21.

We are using it to: 

  • deliver a high quality PE curriculum to all of the children in St John's
  • hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with our teachers when teaching PE 
  • buy high quality resources for use in PE lessons
  • pay for professional development opportunities for teachers in PE and sport 
  • provide sporting lunchtime, after school and enrichment sessions
  • provide free holiday clubs
  • provide cover to release teachers for professional development in PE and sport 
  • buy quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE and sport
By investing the funding in CPD and high quality models of teaching, we are able to sustain the impact of the sports funding.
