Sports Premium

Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression). Children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.
 
The PE and sport premium can help primary schools to achieve this commitment, providing primary schools with government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools, so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils.
 
At Keyham Barton, we use the PE and sport premium to:
  • develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that our school provides
  • build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
 
Each year, we set out a spending Action Plan for our Sport Premium, which is reviewed regularly and updated to best fit the needs of our children and the school.
 
Every year we ensure children have access to high quality swimming lessons at the Life Centre. This takes place in Year 4 so that those who do not make 25m first time are given a further opportunity.
 
The percentage of children who achieved 25m by the end of year 6 2023 was 50%.
