In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport. This funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
This funding is ring-fenced and we will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport.

Qualified sports coaches worked alongside staff for short PE modules eg cricket, tennis, athletics, table tennis to provide the professional development of staff at our school so they could be best equipped to teach high quality Physical Education and school sport for years to come.

In total, the school spent £1072 to pay for qualified coaches.
