Sports Funding

Primary PE and Sport Premium

The U.K. Government says:

Playing sport helps to keep people healthy and is good for communities. Playing sport at school or in a local club is also the first step to competition at the highest level, which helps improve our reputation as a sporting nation, and contributes to economic growth.

5 Key Indicators for effective use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding:

 Schools are expected to see an impact of the primary school sport funding on pupils’ lifestyles and physical well-being, and at Brinsley Primary and Nursery School, we expect to see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:

1. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
2. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity. 
3. The profile of PE and sports is raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement. 
4. Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
5. Increased participation in competitive sport

With regard to swimming we can report that by July 2025:

• 39% of the Year 3 & 4 cohort could swim competently, confidently, and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 meters
• 63% of the Year 3 & 4 cohort could use a range of strokes effectively
• 100% of the Year 3 & 4 cohort could perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

At Brinsley Primary and Nursery School Primary School, our vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium is for ALL pupils to leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport. The way in which we will achieve this is detailed in our Sports Premium report (below), within our PE & Sports Policy and within our Sports progression document.
