Sports and PE Grant 2021-2022

Chalton Lower School receives an annual Sport and PE Grant from the government to help maintain and develop physical education and sport in schools.

The funding is based on a lump sum plus an amount based on the number of keystage 1 and 2 pupils on the 2018 January Census. For 2021-2022 [September to August] the grant for Chalton Lower School will be approximately £16,516.

Sporting Achievements

They all enjoy having the opportunity to take part in the sporting events, even though we don’t win! We have been quite successful in the Tag Rugby tournaments over the past two years. The children have benefited from working with a local rugby coach and the children have demonstrated their understanding of the game at the tournament.
