Bickley Primary School PE & School Sports Premium Government Funding Overview

The government in England continues to allocate the PE & School Sports Premium (PESS) to all state sector primary teaching establishments to improve the quality and provision of PE and Sport.

At Bickley Primary School we believe that PE, sport and healthy active lifestyles are crucial to children’s all round development. The premium will not only be used to raise the children’s enjoyment of physical activity but will also be used to promote a healthy lifestyle whilst building the children’s confidence, teamwork, social skills and a positive mind-set.

With the premium, we are committed to following recommended and statuary guidelines as well as embracing the DfE vision statement for the national Physical Education & School Sport Strategy:

‘ALL pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them with a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.’

Objectives
