PE & Sport Premium
Sport Premium funding was announced by the government in March 2013. The funding is to be used to make addtional and sustainable improvments to the quality of PE, sport, and physical activity provision for primary school pupils.This includes building capacity within the school, ensuring improvements are long-lasting, and benefiting future generations of students. The funding goes directly to schools who will decide what is best for their children’s needs with the aim of improving the quality of provision and expereinces in every state primary school in England. Provision could vary from specialist sports coaching and teacher training to dedicated sports programmes and support for competitions.
For the school year 2023-24, here at Milton Road Primary School we received £19,540.
For the year 2024 - 2025 we recieved £19,543 , we will continue to channel the money, in accordance with DfE guidance, into developing the provision of high quality sports, inter-school games and physical activity throughout the school.
This year Sports Premium spending went towards 4 main areas:
1. Employing a Teaching Assistant as KS1 Playleader at Lunchtimes to support children to increase their physical activity and who may otherwise find physical activity unappealing.
2. Use of coaches working alongside teachers as the main source of CPD as this has proven in the past to be the most effective type of training.
3. Children taking part in inter school competitions – including those less active, with low self-esteem, and lacking confidence.
4. Updating and adding to playground markings.
We have put together a plan for the £19,543 for the academic year September 2024-25.
£10,000 – KI 1 - The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – employment of TA to take on the role of KS1 play leader, work with teachers/coaches in PE lessons, accompany children to competitions and run Fit for Life club
£2,000 - KI 2 - The profile of PESSPA being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement – establish a Sport squad, Young leader training, monitoring of PE teaching, athlete visit

In the second half of the summer term, a Sports Premium Report is produced to reflect on how the funding has been spent and the impact it has had on the children's physical activity and enjoyment of sports and physical activity. This report is shared with members of the Resources Governors Committee and then with the Full Govenring Body. Reports from previous years, can be seen below.
