PE Premium
The government has allocated schools funding to improve the provision of Sport. This gives our school the chance to enhance our level of physical activity and to promote physical fitness.
We are committed to improving physical fitness, encouraging healthy competition, promoting active lifestyles and delivering high-quality P.E. lessons that raise aspirations in sport. We ensure all children receive positive and engaging sporting experiences. Participation in school sport and physical activity is a key priority, and we use our P.E. Premium funding to provide opportunities for all pupils to take part and develop a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
Sustainability
At Livingstone School, we invest our funding in:
- Promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles
- Providing training and development for staff
- Enhancing playground and P.E. equipment
- Supporting less physically active pupils
- Promoting sport across all year groups
- Offering additional swimming sessions
Vision
Our aim is to increase participation in physical activity for all pupils, regardless of ability, disability, gender, culture or background. The P.E. and Sport Premium enables us to broaden the range of sports on offer and to improve staff expertise in delivering high-quality P.E. Through effective teaching, targeted training and a well-rounded extra-curricular programme, we aim to ensure every child experiences the benefits of physical activity and develops healthy lifestyle habits.
Raising fitness levels remains a key priority. In line with national swimming requirements, we provide additional swimming sessions for pupils in Years 5 and 6 who need further support. We also value pupil voice and encourage children to take an active role in shaping their P.E. experiences. Leadership opportunities, such as P.E. councillors, support this by enabling pupils to lead activities and promote sport among their peers.
To support daily physical activity, we aim to provide at least 30 minutes of planned activity each day. Additional lunchtime sessions, led by our P.E. councillors, offer structured opportunities for all children to take part in active play and develop their confidence and leadership skills.
Please see the attached documents outlining the five key indicators and how our P.E. provision aligns with the P.E. Premium funding. As of 2024-2025, all publishing of the Sports Premium will be published online through the Government Portal.
