The Westgate Primary School Sports Premium   2023-24

PE and Sports Premium for Primary Schools 

 In 2013 the Government announced that they would be spending £450 million over the next three academic years to help fund primary school sport, this is called the School Sport Premium. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer and should use the premium to:   

• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that the school already offers 

• Make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years 

Schools have the freedom to spend the money however they choose, but this must be towards improving their provision of PE and Sport to give children the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle and cannot be spent on the delivery of the Core PE curriculum. 

At The Westgate Primary School, we aim to: 

• Improve pupils’ fitness, health and wellbeing

• Promote a culture of inclusiveness which enables access to PE and Sport for all pupils

• Improve the PE skills and stamina of pupils to improve personal fitness 

• Improve the resources and equipment used at The Westgate Lower School 

• Offer a wide range of opportunities in PE 

• Offer a wide range of extra-curricular sports clubs 

• Introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport 

• To encourage pupils to participate in Sports Competitions 

• Run and take part in Interschool Sports Festivals 

• Provide opportunities for participating in Sport during lunchtimes
