The government has historically provided additional funding to improve the provision of PE and sport in primary schools. This funding is provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

At Grimsdyke School, we already provide a well-balanced, fun, enjoyable and inspiring PE curriculum which encourages children to become physically active, boosts their confidence and provides them with life skills.  Children receive a minimum of 2 hours per week quality PE using a variety of equipment and resources.  They experience a broad range of sporting opportunities in which they can develop skills and excel in activities which are challenging and inclusive of all abilities.  We value sporting excellence and cater for talented individuals as well as encourage all children to be active and make healthy choices. 

We offer a variety of competitive opportunities throughout the year, both within the school and against other schools. These competitions encourage children to develop values such as fairness, respect, teamwork, co-operation and self-esteem. 

There is a well-established programme of extra-curricular activities provided before school, after school and at lunch and break times.  We aim to increase levels of participation with the Sports Premium Funding.

We promote healthy active lifestyles and this has a positive effect on academic subjects too.

We intend to ensure that the extra sports premium funding will have a long-lasting impact in the areas of teaching and learning, competitive sports, health and safety and for the effects of this provision to be evident throughout the school, resulting in increased confidence and high standards reflected in all curriculum areas.

We publish a report annually on how we spend this grant at Grimsdyke School, and its impact within our school.  These can be viewed below.

This year (2024/25), the information in this report has also been submitted to the DfE via the PE and sport premium digital expenditure reporting return. We monitor the effectiveness of this regularly and devise ways of measuring the impact to ensure maximum usage.
