Sports Premium
PE & Sports Funding
The government provides additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding has been provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health & Culture, Media and Sport. This funding is ring-fenced within the school’s delegated budget and can therefore be only spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Sarum St Paul’s aims to increase PE participation and enjoyment for ALL pupils, increase the coaching/teaching competence of class teachers and offer a wide range of sports activities. The funding has allowed us to introduce a new scheme of work for PE curriculum, improve the PE provision through the purchasing of additional or replacing of equipment and fund inter-school sporting competitions. We are confident that the activities and resources that we fund through this grant will support a sustainable improvement to the PE teaching and pupil participation in sport.

What People Say about our PE Provision
Thank you so much for the PE Subject Leader report which the Curriculum Committee read through on Monday afternoon. It is so inspiring and amazing to read through the long list of different sports that children can experience at Sarum St Paul's - there truly is something for everyone! Reading through the Kite Mark website it is clear that what you have achieved getting another Gold Award is truly impressive, so much so that you can go on for Platinum - a real testament to your hard work and commitment." Chair of Governors July 2025
"To read in this report that “100% of children at Sarum St Paul’s” look forward to, enjoy, feel safe and are confident in PE lessons demonstrates the high-quality planning and teaching that our school provides in this important subject area. The children clearly have access to a wide variety of sports over the year and understand the importance of living healthy, active lives. I am full of admiration for Mrs Shinn and Mrs Field for their dedication and whole-hearted commitment to providing the very best for our children and want to thank them for all they do." Chair of Governors September 2024
"Offering pupils the chance to develop fundamental skills while offering a broad range of physical activities, together with the chance to play for teams and compete off-site have such a positive impact on individual children and the school as a whole. Miss Martindale should be congratulated for her work raising the profile of PE at SSP, building staff confidence in delivery of the subject and creating opportunities for all children to participate."
