Sports Premium Funding
At Springfield, we recognise the importance of physical education in order to support children’s learning across the curriculum. It also contributes to healthy and active lifestyles, improves emotional well-being, has a positive effect on behaviour and develops key skills such as leadership, confidence and teamwork. It is our aim to ensure the positive values of sport are intertwined with the school ethos and help to engage with our wider community, including local schools. We can ensure that we meet these aims by placing children at the centre of learning.
Through the effective use of Sports Premium funding, we continue to strengthen and enhance our PE and sports provision, ensuring that improvements have a lasting impact on current and future pupils. Funding has been used to purchase high-quality sporting equipment to improve opportunities for physical activity during PE lessons, playtimes and lunchtimes. This investment supports high-quality teaching and learning while encouraging children to be active throughout the school day.
We have also invested in the training and development of Sports Leaders, enabling pupils to organise and lead activities during lunchtimes. This not only increases participation in physical activity but also develops valuable leadership, communication and teamwork skills. Through this role, pupils are encouraged to Aspire by developing their leadership potential, Contribute by supporting and engaging younger pupils in active play, and Explore new sports, activities and responsibilities. This creates a sustainable model of provision that can be continued by future cohorts of pupils.
In addition, Sports Premium funding is used to support and subsidise a range of extra-curricular sports clubs. This helps to reduce financial barriers for families and ensures that more children can access high-quality sporting opportunities beyond the school day. These opportunities allow pupils to Aspire to achieve their personal best, Contribute positively as team members and role models, and Explore a wide range of sporting experiences that they may not otherwise encounter.
Through investment in equipment, pupil leadership development and accessible extra-curricular provision, Springfield is committed to creating a sustainable sporting legacy that reflects our ACE values. By encouraging children to Aspire, Contribute and Explore through sport and physical activity, we promote participation, nurture talent and inspire all pupils to lead active and healthy lifestyles both now and in the future.
