At St. John’s Primary School, we believe PE & Sport play 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 excellence.

What is the Sports Premium?

Former Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that the Government will commit funding for the Primary PE and Sport Premium to 2020, with £750m to be invested over the course of the next parliament.

The investment builds on the £150m a year ring-fenced funding currently committed for schools until 2020 to increase primary PE and sport opportunities. This is ring-fenced funding – allocated directly to primary schools across England, and it became effective in September 2013.

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 Take Pride, Gravesham School Sports Partnership and MFSE and have identified key areas through a self -review process to ensure we can meet 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

Our Vision

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.
