PE and Sport Premium

Ravenshead C of E Primary School is committed to ensuring that all pupils develop a positive attitude to physical activity, build lifelong healthy habits and access high-quality physical education. The PE and Sport Premium funding is used strategically to improve teaching quality, broaden opportunities, increase participation and promote inclusion for all pupils.

During the 2024–25 academic year, the school received £20,550 in PE and Sport Premium funding. All funding was spent to enhance provision and outcomes for pupils, with a strong focus on sustainable improvement.
 

Curriculum and Teaching

PE is an integral part of our broad and balanced curriculum. A significant proportion of funding was invested in professional development, including specialist coaching, internal CPD and online training. Coaches work alongside teachers to develop subject knowledge, confidence and consistency, ensuring staff are increasingly confident to deliver high-quality PE independently. This has strengthened progression and teaching quality across year groups.

Inclusion and Access

Funding has been used deliberately to reduce barriers and ensure equitable access to physical activity. Targeted support has enabled:
• Inclusive provision and specialist coaching for pupils with SEND or medical needs
• Subsidised clubs and activities for disadvantaged pupils
• Improved access to PE and sport for girls

These approaches ensure that all pupils can participate fully and benefit from high-quality physical education and enrichment opportunities.

Personal Development and Wellbeing

The funding has increased pupils’ engagement in physical activity, confidence and enjoyment of sport. A wider range of clubs, activities and competitions supports teamwork, resilience and wellbeing, contributing positively to pupils’ wider personal development.

Achievement and Swimming

The impact on PE attainment has been positive, with pupils demonstrating improved physical skills, stamina and confidence. Swimming outcomes remain strong:
• 80% of Year 6 pupils can swim competently over 25 metres
• 85% can use a range of strokes effectively
• 81% can perform safe self-rescue

This ensures pupils meet statutory requirements and leave school well prepared.

Leadership and Sustainability

PE and Sport Premium spending is overseen by the PE Lead, Mr Will Evans, with clear monitoring and evaluation of impact. Investment in staff development ensures improvements are embedded and sustainable, reducing reliance on external support over time. All funding has been spent appropriately, with no underspend carried forward, and has been approved by the Headteacher and Governors.
