Sports Premium Funding

Sports and PE Grant 2023-2024

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 2023 January Census. For 2023-2024 [September to August] the grant for Chalton Lower School will be approximately £16,473.

When using the Sports Premium funding, schools must ensure impact against the following 5 Key Indicators:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school.
The profile of PE, Sport and Physical Activity being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and Sport.
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
Increased participation in competitive sport.

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.

Next year we will use Creative Sport Coaching for our PE provision. Staff continue these skills in the second lesson of the week thus maintaining their teaching skills.
