Sports Premium

The PE and Sports premium provides additional, ring-fenced funding to schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.

We write a yearly action plan for our Sport Premium and assess the impact of this. We ensure our improvements are sustainable by investing in staff training and development and quality resources as part of this. Please see the bottom of this page for the 2023/24 Evaluation and 2024/25 Action Plan.

 

School Swimming

Pupils in Years 5 and 6 have a block of swimming lessons in a group of up to 4 pupils at our local Spring Meadow Pool with our Calder Learning Trust PE Teacher who is a qualified swimming teacher. Achievement in swimming is celebrated in our weekly Golden Book Assemblies and end of term celebrations. 

In July 2024, 93% of our Year 6 pupils achieved the National Curriculum attainment level in swimming. 

School Games Award 

Gold Award No Dates

In September 2024 we were delighted to be awarded our Gold School Games Award, in recognition of all the great sporting activities our pupils take part in both in school and in local HX7 and Calderdale competitions. This builds on our achievements of Gold in 2023, 2022 and 2019, Silver in 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and Bronze in 2014. 

Unfortunately COVID has meant schools were not able to achieve a 2020 or 2021 School games mark.
