At Northbourne CEP School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children in school. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.

At Northbourne the Sports Premium is used to achieve the following:

• To ensure that children benefit from high quality Physical Education as part of the school curriculum and that staff benefit from continuing professional development;
• To provide opportunities for competitive school sport for all children who wish to take part;
• To encourage children to take part in School Sports and PE;
• To identify, enthuse and engage with children and families who are less likely to choose sports and exercise as a lifestyle choice;
• To increase the number of children who take part in after-school sports clubs by offering a wider range of activities;
• To work in partnership with other organisations and school to maximise the potential of School Sports and PE;
• To inspire children to participate in a range of sporting activities.

Our Primary School Sport Funding will enable us to achieve our aims by employing a sports professional to support PE alongside our teaching staff, develop our after school clubs offer, enter the school into more competitive sports competitions and model excellent PE lessons.
