PE and Sport Premium

Background

The Department of Education is providing all primary schools with additional funding to improve the provision of PE and sport. The funding calculation is based on the number of children at the school.

For 2017-2018, Bishop Gilpin received £19,110 in 2 instalments.  (Nov 2017-£11,148, April 2018-£7,962)

As a school, we have allocated the funds on the continuation and expansion of physical education,  extra-curricular sports clubs and competition opportunities, led by Alec Smail and Harry Braid (Fit for Sport).

 This had led to:

• Increased volume of pupils representing the school in teams with self- arranged inter school competitions and fixtures (52% across KS2 April 2017 - 134 children in total). This percentage is due to increase by the end of summer term as more fixtures are coming through.

• Increased pupil awareness of the importance of sport in achieving a healthy lifestyle.
• Outstanding performances and sporting achievements at cluster, borough and pan-London levels:
