PE and Sports Premium

What is the PE and Sports Grant?

The PE and Sports Grant is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to improve physical education and sports in Primary schools. This money can only be spent on sport and PE provision.

Each school receives £16,000 and £10 per pupil based on the school census data.

How does this affect and impact on The Chalet School?

The Sports Premium is used within The Chalet School to support the engagement and achievement of all pupils, following our inclusive ethos.

The principles underlying our use of this grant are that we want:

All pupils to engage with movement and physical activity in ways which ensure that they benefit from their education in all senses
That the staff working with our children are as highly skilled in teaching sports and physical development as possible
That we endeavour to provide a wide variety of sporting and physical activities to all our pupils.

Over the last year, we have used funding to invest in equipment that supports the engagement of all pupils in physical activity. This has included using funding to:

Invested in development and refinement of forest school, giving pupils purposeful outdoor learning experiences to support their physical and mental health needs.
Ensured that pupils have additional swimming lessons beyond the curriculum requirements to enable pupils to develop a life skill, work holistically to develop communication skill, resilience and support safe transitions in life.

The school continues to offer a range of additional activities such as movement sessions in school and access to the indoor soft play areas.
