Primary School Sport Premium 2023 – 2024

The government is providing additional funding to primary schools in order to improve the provision of physical education and sport. This funding is ring-fenced, meaning it will only be spent on sports and PE. At Victory we are working closely with an external PE company to extend the sport and PE provision we already provide.

We aim to establish a long lasting, sporting culture that:

• is inclusive of all; enabling and encouraging all children to play and enjoy sport
• develops outstanding teaching and learning in PE, through curriculum design and training staff
• involves outside specialists in training and developing all staff
• involves outside specialists in providing extra-curricular sporting opportunities, including after school sports activities
• provides exciting and stimulating resources and sporting equipment
• provides opportunities for inter-school competitions and for competitions within school
• provides opportunities for the development of children who are particularly talented in different sporting disciplines

We recognise that sports and PE have many benefits that can have a positive impact on a child’s happiness, health and success. Some of these include:

• the health benefits of exercise and adopting a healthy lifestyle
• the positive mental benefits of exercise
• personal goal setting
• self discipline
• team work and negotiation
• a sense of identity and belonging

We evaluate the impact of all initiatives undertaken to ensure the maximum benefit of the funding.
