PE & Sports Grant
The government currently provides primary schools with some funding to help promote sport in schools This is called the PE & Sport Premium.
You can see how we spent the PE & Sport Premium funding in 2022/23 and the impact this had here.

It’s Not All About the Money…
In addition to the PE & Sport premium funding, below is a summary of other ways in which we have engaged children in physical activity this year:

Intra-school competitions |

C3 (25 children) C4 (30 children) |
These are mini-competitions between teams of St John’s children. These take place each half term in sports such as: hockey, basketball, football, dodgeball, cricket, tag rugby and rounders |
|
Additional Club Coaching |

All children in school (95) |
Last year we welcomed Karate coaches to deliver sessions to all classes |
|
Signposting to Local Clubs |
free |
All children in school (95) |
We appreciate we cannot provide all the sporting expertise that is required in every field so we are always keen to promote local sports clubs. During our Sports Week in 2023 several local clubs (karate, dance, rugby and cricket) delivered taster sessions to the children. Leaflets were available for everyone to take home. Club participation raised following this event.

|
Physical Activity Charts |
free |
All children in school (95) |
On the playground there are three large charts which set the children physical, aerobic challenges. They set themselves goals and enjoy trying to beat their own PBs! |
|
Sports Day |
free |
All children in school (95) |
During our annual Sports Week we hold our traditional sports day. We feel it is important to retain a competitive element to sport and so all children compete in races, as well as some potted sports. |
