Sports Premium

The School Information Regulations 2012 require publishing of our Premium funding data. This can be found below:

From 2013, all state sector primary schools nationally, have received Government funding to promote high quality sustainable PE & Sports provision within both curricular & extra-curricular settings.

West Moors Middle School is committed to ensuring that this invaluable source of funding is allotted to areas of the PE & Sports programme that guarantee the further raising of Subject Co-Ordination management and professional teaching standards; increased resourcing and learning opportunities for our pupils. Other outcomes that we wish to subsequently address are:

  • Evidence of healthier lifestyles
  • Improved physical fitness levels
  • Enhanced pupil confidence and application to other academic subjects

The school applies the following DfE Vision Statement to the core of all planned initiatives associated with the Premium:

All pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport’

  The School adheres to the published guidelines so as to ensure additional and

  sustainable improvements to PE and Sport thereby using the Premium to:

  • develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
  • build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

   The school addresses progress in accordance with the nationally prescribed five 

  indicators that are:

  • -the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
  • the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
  • -increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
  • broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
  • -increased participation in competitive sport

The School also complies with meeting the statutory requirement, as instructed by DfE and HMI, to ensure that information on the use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium is made available to parents on its school website. Whilst accountability rests with all schools by way of how the funding is spent, it is the case that all schools must annually provide online evidence of actual spend and long-term impact based upon the following areas:

  • the amount of premium received
  • a full breakdown of how it has been spent (or will be spent)
  • the impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment
  • how the improvements will be sustainable in the future
