At Our Lady of Lourdes we aim to provide a rich and varied programme of sport which will ensure the children develop appropriate attitudes and skills. Please read below to find out more about the PE and Sports Premium and how it is used at Our Lady of Lourdes.

What is the Sports Premium?

The premium must be spent by schools on making additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE, physical activity and sport for the benefit of all pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
• the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
• increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
• increased participation in competitive sport
