Sports Premium

The Government is providing funding  to provide  primary school sport funding.

This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.

The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

You can view or download our Sports Premium allocation and find out how this has been used at our school.

At Thornhill Primary School we understand the importance Sport and Physical Education play in the healthy lives of our children. Therefore to ensure our children receive high quality physical experiences we have used the Sports Premium funding to set up a number of initiatives.

For example we employ a Primary Teacher with a PE specialism, who teaches PE throughout the school.

Another initiative is the provision of extra swimming lessons. Our school is surrounded by numerous waterways and so we recognise the importance of children learning to swim, a vital lifesaving skill. This extra swimming lesson ensures that all children from Year Three onwards have access to high quality swimming coaching on a regular basis.

At Thornhill Primary School we also value high quality professional development for our staff and recognise this as a major key to success. Therefore some of the funding has been directed towards providing cover for classes to enable the release of teachers to work alongside coaches and sports professionals. This leds to continual improvement in the quality of PE teaching and greater staff confidence to deliver outstanding lessons.

Finally we have also used the funding to support our school participation in sports festivals and competitions which are organsied by the School Sports Partnership. While funding has also ensured that all our children are provided with an opportunity to access a range of sports themed after school clubs.
