PE Sport Funding

The government has provided additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. 

At Hermitage, we are committed to ensuring that our Sport Premium Funding is used to achieve and enhance 5 key indicators:

• Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
• Raise the profile of PE and Sport across school
• Increase confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• Broaden experiences through the range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• Increase participation in competitive sport

We have identified priorities for 2026/27 that will ensure that we are able to confidently meet these key indicators. 

• Maintain a high profile for physical activity across the school, embedding sport and movement into the wider culture and ethos of the school.

• Drive participation in a wide range of sports and physical activities, ensuring all pupils have access to a diverse and inclusive PE curriculum and broad extracurricular offer.

• Continue to be a member of the local cluster sports group 'Thrive' to provide extensive opportunities for pupils to take part in a wide range of competitive sporting events, including interschool competitions, festivals, and tournaments.

• Ensure all pupils achieve 60 active minutes daily

• Continue to boost levels of regular physical activity for all children, particularly through structured breaktime and lunchtime activities and enhanced extracurricular provision.

• Increase participation of pupils with SEND in extracurricular sporting activities and competitive events, ensuring accessibility and inclusion are prioritised.

• Facilitate and promote girls' football, ensuring it is visible, valued, and inclusive, with regular competitive opportunities provided.

• Increase engagement of disadvantaged pupils in physical activity, both within school and in community-based events, by removing barriers to participation and promoting inclusive practice.

• Ensure all pupils meet national swimming standards by the end of Key Stage 2, including providing additional catch-up sessions for those who need further support.
