The PE and Sport Premium aims to help primary schools to ensure pupils have access to sufficient daily activity. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils. The government stipulates that schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of their physical education (‘PE’), physical activity and sport.

The spending plan determined has been considered carefully alongside our existing school development priorities and curriculum plans, with steps taken to ensure the initiative is implemented well with ongoing review to assess the impact of the plan.

We are delighted that our approach to physical activity, sport and well-being has been recognised with the Gold Sports Mark Award two years in a row and we are extremely positive, based on the many strengths at The Coppice, that we will receive accreditation again before the end of this academic year.

We very much hope that this year, through our Physical Education Development and Sports premium Plan, will see our provision grow further to meet the needs of our pupils.
