Primary PE and School Sports Funding

 

Primary PE and Sport Funding

The Government introduced Sport Funding in 2013 to raise pupil participation in sport related activities on the back of the success of the 2012 Olympic Games.

The government is providing additional funding of £150 million to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools

This ‘legacy’ funding is intended to open up new avenues of sporting activity to young people, be it taking up a new sport never previously experienced or investing in the professional development of staff to develop new PE related initiatives in school. This funding is ring fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

 P.E. and School Sport 

School Games Award

“After exercise, a child’s ability to sort out priorities improves, allowing them to block out distractions and better concentrate on the task at hand.

Their brain remembers more when their body is active. Put simply, increased physical activity in schools increases concentration levels in children which will help them perform better academically.”
 
This is why at Rift House Primary School we are an active school!

At Rift House Primary School we want every child to have:

  • A positive feeling of self-esteem
  • An understanding of a healthy and active lifestyle
  • An increase in the ability to cope with personal responsibility
  • An increase in social skills
  • An increase in physical skills
  • An increase in communication skills 

Within our school, we are focusing on promoting health and well being of our pupils, staff and the wider community by encouraging healthy and active lifestyle opportunities.  At Rift House School we offer 2 hours PE lessons and lots of opportunities for competitive sports outside of the school curriculum.  All children have the opportunity to attend after school clubs, as well as the many intra school competitions at break times and lunch times and energisers within the classroom throughout the day.  This is to ensure that all pupils are physically active for at least thirty minutes during every school day which is in line with the governments 30:30 policy.
