Sports Premium

What is the Sports Premium?

The funding is jointly provided by the Department for Education, Health and Culture and Media and Sport. It will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and P.E; each school will receive £16,000, plus an additional £10 per pupil in Years 1 -6. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

Purpose of the funding

Schools will spend the funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. This may include additional sport clubs, equipment to support P.E and hiring specialist P.E teachers/qualified sport coaches.

How has the Sports Premium Funding enhanced learning at Holy Trinity?

At Holy Trinity we recognise the contribution of P.E to the health and well-being of our children and their families. In addition, it is considered that a varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all children.

Swimming Competency 

Throughout the 2021/2022 academic year Years 5 & 6 received weekly swimming lessons.

The National Curriculum for swimming and water safety requires children to;

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of 25 metres.
•  Use a range of strokes effectively.
• Perform safe self-rescue in water based situations.

21% of our  Year 6 (2022) cohort met the national curriculum requirements.

During the academic year 2022/2023 Years 4 & 5 pupils will receive swimming lessons. (Year 5 lessons are due to 'recovery' work after the pandemic.)
