Sport Premium Funding

PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools?

All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation, and is central to meeting the government's ambitions for a world-class education system.

Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people's physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.

The PE and Sport Premium can help primary schools to achieve this aim, providing primary schools with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils.

As of 2017-18, the sport Premium has doubled and Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.

Sporting Aims

Children at Oasis Academy Byron are encouraged to participate in a variety of sporting activities ranging from fitness, dance, and athletics to team games such as basketball, football and rounders. From Year 3 onwards children attend swimming lessons.

Whilst urging the children to do their best at all times, we also believe that children should learn to enjoy taking part and that winning is not the only mark of achievement.

The Academy is a member of the local Coulsdon Cluster and benefits from participating in a range of local organised competitions. 

Children are also given opportunities to develop their sporting skills at lunchtimes, when a programme of organised sports is provided.
