what is sports premium?
Following the massive success of London 2012, The Goverment, in conjunction with various charities have implemented a program to increase participation in Sports; develop pupils abilities within sport and improve their health and well being.

Implementing the “Sports Premium” in our School.
Pennine sports partnership links
The Government has given every Primary School funding to develop Physical education and competitive sport.
In our school we are using this funding by working with the Pennine Sports Partnership to:
- Increase the amount of competition sport in which our children participate.
- Make links to other community sports providers.
- Develop additional clubs and activities for children, outside the curriculum.
- Encourage our children to improve their leadership skills through sport.
- Give extra support in PE to our most talented children and include those with special needs in sport.
- Bring in PE and sports specialist teachers and coaches into work alongside class teachers in lessons.
In this way, our children will gain new skills and experiences and teachers will learn new techniques and knowledge to aid them in teaching sport and PE. While the specialist coaches support lessons, this enables the class teachers to also assess pupils and identify their skills and abilities and plan for progress.
The long term aim is higher quality lessons and improved learning for all children.
How we spend our fundingEach
In order to track and monitor the allocation of spending and the impact of this, each year we produce a document which sets out our allocation, our intentions for the current year and the impact of previous spending. You can view this document by clicking here. This money is used to fund a dedicated sports coach to work in school alongside the class teacher to teach PE. Our sports coach has links to the sporting opportunities which are taking place across the Colne Valley. Part of his role is to coordinate and prepare our pupils for sporting events which take place throughout the year. This means that our pupils are receiving high quality sports teaching and an opportunity to compete against other children from across the Colne Valley. Many of these events take place at Colne Valley High School providing our pupils with access to high quality, effective sports facilities and the experience of attending a high school setting.
Please click on the documents below to see how we have been spending the money this year to acheive all of the goals set out by the funding, we hope that as this funding continues into the future so we can continue to make lasting legacies, which will benefit this generation and those in the future.
