At Holywell Primary and Nursery School we consider PE of utmost importance. In recent years, we have seen the benefits gained from participation in high quality sport. We are constantly raising standards and pushing children to achieve their best. We believe that PE contributes significantly to academic and social performance. Through the subject, children learn to co-operate, accept advice, consider others and persevere. During this, they learn to listen and process instructions whilst taking ownership of their learning. We teach them to take risks in working through challenges where they can discover a favoured outcome. All of this is relevant and supports the delivery of our curriculum across the school.

For our sports funding allocation, we have outlined:

• how much funding we received
• a full breakdown of how we have spent the funding or will spend the funding
• the effect of the premium on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment
• how we will make sure these improvements are sustainable
• how many pupils within our year 6 cohort can do each of the following:
  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
  • use a range of strokes effectively
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations
