The PE and Sport Premium is an allocation of additional funding given to schools to support the development of Physical Education, School Sport and Competition.
All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used, as well as the impact this is having on pupils. The final report for 2023-2024 is below. You will also see the report for the previous year 2022-23
At St Wilfrid’s C of E Primary School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that innovative and varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.
