2023 - 2024 Review

The Government has provided additional funding to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding in order to improve the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. This funding can only be spent on provision for PE and sport in schools. Schools will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport.

Allocation: All schools with 17 or more primary-aged pupils will receive a lump sum of £16000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.

Sport and Physical Education underpins our curriculum, personal development and community togetherness at Oaks. We identify the platform it provides for children to learn in different ways and how it helps to promote an ethos of health and wellbeing.

In planning how to allocate the grant we have worked to the following principles:

all children benefit regardless of sporting ability
children are given the opportunity to compete in tournaments with other schools
staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development
some activities may be subsidised so that pupils do not miss out due to financial constraints
we make use of collaborative and partnership working

2023-2024 Grant: £18,140 (£16K + £10/pupil)

Total Income: £18,140
Total Expenditure: £18,140
