At Wilberforce Primary, we are committed to providing high quality physical education, sport and physical activity opportunities for all pupils. The Primary PE and Sport Premium is used to improve the quality of PE and sport provision, increase participation in physical activity, promote healthy lifestyles and ensure that improvements are sustainable over time.
PE and Sport Premium funding enables the school to broaden opportunities for pupils to engage in physical activity both during and beyond the school day.
Funding supports a range of extracurricular clubs, allowing more pupils to participate regularly in organised sport and physical activity. These opportunities encourage healthy lifestyles, develope teamwork and resilience, and increase enjoyment and engagement in physical activity.
Investment in staff professional development enhances teachers' confidence and expertise in delivering high quality physical education lessons. This has strengthened provision across the school and improved pupils' learning experiences.
Additional resources and equipment improves access to a wider range of physical activities and supports high quality PE lessons throughout the year. Funding also enables pupils to participate in competitive sporting opportunities through the local schools' sports association.
Swimming provision remaines a key priority. Additional funding supports top-up swimming lessons and ensures that pupils have access to further opportunities to develop essential water safety skills.
