Sports Premium money is allocated to all primary schools with a vision of creating children that are physically literate and that have the skills, the knowledge and the motivation in order that they are in a position to lead healthy, active lifestyles for the duration of their life.
What has the impact been?
The overall impact is shown in:
- A wider range of activities available to our children
- More children knowing and understanding that regular, physical activity is the best antidote to eliminate obesity and maintain an acceptable body weight.
- Improved fitness levels during P.E. including muscular and cardiovascular endurance, strength and flexibility.
- Increased confidence in physical abilities, leading to positive feelings and increased self-esteem.
- Development of the notion of fair play, honest competition and good sportsmanship
- More children able to access sport
- The sports crew at lunch-time has led to an uptake in sports participation by children who were previously not sports active at recreation time.
