Evidencing the Impact of Primary PE and Sport Premium 2023/2024
Since 2013, all UK schools have received funding from the Department for Education. The purpose of the funding is to improve the provision of PE and school sport. Our school already has a well-established positive attitude towards sport and exercise and pupils are given lots of opportunities in school to try new activities, with a strong emphasis on participation and enjoyment. We are fully committed to promoting active and healthy lifestyles.
Our offer continually includes the following:
- PE lessons which are aimed at developing skills that can easily be transferred into individual and team sports. Every child takes part in at least two hours of PE per week, including games, athletics, gymnastics, dance and outdoor and adventurous activities.
- The opportunity to have swimming lessons, with catch up lessons available, to ensure that they can swim 25 metres before they leave primary school. Since February 2022, we have been able to resume swimming lessons in line with National Curriculum requirements. In addition to this, we have pledged to ensure that non-swimmers continue to swim weekly until they are able to swim confidently. As of July 2022, all children from Year 2 to Year 6 have been offered this. This offer continued in 2023/24 with a huge increase in the number of children able to swim 25m confidently.
- Opportunities to enter as many inter-school competitions as possible, involving children of ranging age and abilities. Participation in inter-school competitions has been restricted to virtual competitions. We have remained committed to giving our children the chance to participate and did so in a number of competitions. We were proud to achieve success in a number of competitions including tri-golf, cross-country and QuadKids. Inclusion is a priority for our Federation and we aim to provide all children with the chance to represent their school as part of a competitive team.
- The offer of a range of after school sports clubs throughout the year for all ability and age groups, including gymnastics, tennis, athletics, cricket and football. We also provide a Summer club.
- A commitment to providing our children with a rich and broad range of sporting experiences from which we hope they will find ‘their sport’ and lead an active lifestyle. In May 2023, we were able to offer all of our children the opportunity to be inspired by a GB athlete and to experience a martial art workshop. In July 2024, children from across the federation, in Collaboration, experienced the new sport of Quidditch.
- The opportunity for older children to attend a residential outdoor activity centre. In June 2023, Y5/6 children visited East Barnby where they participated in a range of adventurous activities. In May 2024, Y3/4 children also visited East Barnby.
- We are passionate about providing Forest School which encourages our children to be active and enjoy the outdoors, as well as supporting their mental health and well-being.
- Last year, we introduced Beach School - a further opportunity to be outdoors and active.
- We have secured access to the Village Hall which provides more space for indoor sports such as gymnastics and dance.

The Impact of Our Offer
We believe that it is important to provide all children at STW with the opportunity to be involved in inter-school competitions. Whilst it is always nice to win, we recognise and promote the 'taking part' and 'sportsmanship' aspects of competing, along with the success of personal achievements.
