PE and Sport Premium
Following the 2012 London Olympics, it was decided to provide extra funding for Primary Schools. PE provision is assisted at West Denton Primary School (WDPS) by PE premium funding.
The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum from 2013 to 2020 to improve the provision of Physical Education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.

How the funding has made a difference to PE and sport participation
Evaluation of the impact of the sport premium funding will be carried out as part of our self-evaluation arrangements in July 2020.
The self-evaluation will look at how we have used the sports premium funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sporting provision, including increased participation in PE.
It will evaluate the progress made in PE but also other areas of development such as self-esteem and confidence.
We will be able to compare the number of children involved in sporting activities in and outside of school.
The staff are working alongside external agencies to improve their own professional development in improving the teaching of PE and sport.
In July 2020 we will have data to support the impact of the sports premium funding on pupil progress and involvement in sport.
