Sports Premium

What does the Sport Premium mean for my School? 

‘Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this’ (DfE June 2013).

We are working closely with Sport Impact www.sportimpact.co.uk  and Let's Leap www.letsleapsportsacademy.co.uk. 
Together we have identified key areas through a self -review process to ensure we can meets the high expectations in PE and Sport for our children.

‘Schools will also be required to include details of their provision of PE and sport on their website, alongside details of their broader curriculum, so that parents can compare sports provision between schools, both within and beyond the school day’-(DfE June 2013)

At The Rosary Catholic Primary School we believe PE & Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better.
Through PE & Sport our children learn to develop the important qualities of discipline, resilience, communication, team work, and ambition, leading to improved concentration, attitude, and academic achievement. 

We have welcomed the Government’s announcement in June 2013 to provide additional funding  to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. We are committed to using this resource in developing  high quality PE lessons , alongside greater opportunities for sporting competitions and clubs for all our young people.
