PE and Sport Premium

The PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to primary schools to improve the quality, provision, and participation in physical education and sport. The funding is used to ensure that all pupils develop healthy, active lifestyles and have access to a broad range of sporting opportunities, both within and beyond the school day.

At Ormiston Beachcroft Academy, the PE and Sport Premium is used strategically to enhance the PE curriculum, increase opportunities for extra-curricular sport, and promote physical and mental well-being for all pupils. A key focus is encouraging lifelong participation in physical activity while ensuring inclusive access for all learners, including those with additional needs.

How the funding is used

The PE and Sport Premium supports:

  • The purchase of high-quality PE and playground equipment to improve lesson delivery and active playtimes
  • Swimming provision to ensure pupils meet national curriculum swimming requirements by the end of Year 6
  • Access to off-site sporting activities and facilities through transport provision
  • Increased opportunities to participate in competitive and inclusive sporting events
  • Enrichment activities that promote teamwork, resilience, confidence, and enjoyment of sport

Impact of the funding

The funding has had a positive impact on pupil engagement and participation in physical activity. Pupils across the academy regularly take part in structured PE lessons, enrichment activities, and daily physical play. Participation levels have increased, particularly for vulnerable pupils and those with high needs, supporting improvements in confidence, well-being, and physical development.

Through the use of external providers, specialist equipment, and varied sporting environments, pupils have been able to broaden their sporting experiences and develop a positive attitude towards health and fitness. The academy continues to build on this success to ensure high-quality PE and sport provision for all learners.
