The PE and Sport Premium is funding provided to schools in addition to main school funding. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

Schools receive PE and Sport Premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6.  Funding for schools is calculated by reference to the number of primary-aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11), as recorded in the annual schools census each January.

It is for schools to decide how the PE and Sport funding is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made to enhance the provision for PE in school. Schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding, ensuring additional and sustainable improvements are made to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

PE and Sport play an important part in the life of Tadley Community Primary School.

At least two hours per week are dedicated to physical activity in the curriculum. This includes PE lessons, OPAL & structured games played at lunchtime, active breaks and the daily mile. We believe that physical education and sport contribute significantly to the development of our children, and through participation in sport and physical education our children can develop their learning behaviours of teamwork, reflection, independence, resilience, creativity and curiosity.
