Information on Sports Premium

The government's vision is for the Sports Premium is:

All pupils leading primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - must be spent in accordance with government guidelines to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE in school. The funding allocated for schools is £16000 for each year, plus £10 per pupil. This means that The Gateway will be allocated £18010 for this academic year.

To achieve the government’s goal of self-sustained improvement in the quality of P.E. and sport, The Gateway should see progress against 5 key areas. These being:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school

• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement

• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport

• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils

• increased participation in competitive sport
