Sports Premium
Since 2013 schools have been given a ‘Sports Premium’ to be spent on improving teaching and learning, to provide extra-curricular activities and to extend competitive school sport. Linthorpe School’s Sports Premium allowance for the current academic year (2023/2024) is £21,440. Funding for our school will be calculated by the number of primary aged pupils (between the ages of 5 and 11 as of January Census). We will receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.
Key Stage 1 and 2 children follow Get Set 4 PE scheme of work. The fundamental skills are the basis of physical activity in the Early Years, leading to specific sports in KS2. PE is taught by class teachers and by our Sports coach but other outside agencies do also provide cover for our teachers during their planning and preparation time. An extensive swimming course is carried out in Year 5.

Schools can choose to use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to provide additional provision for swimming but this must be for activity over and above the national curriculum requirements. Have you used it in this way?

Linthorpe is part of the Youth Sports Trust (YST), Middlesbrough Schools Sports Partnership and Acklam Sports Partnership. All of these organisations require a payment, for which we use our Sports Premium money. Membership of these associations has had a quantifiable impact on our PE provision.
Other uses of the Sports Premium money include access to training for staff including teachers, NQTs, TAs and midday assistants. Furthermore, the premium funding also provides help with the cost of transport for some of the inter school competitions and festivals to allow all of our children the opportunity to compete in a range of sports.
We feel that we are spending our current Sports Premium Funding wisely to enable as many children as possible to access high quality PE lessons, participate in a wide range of extracurricular clubs and activities and to have the opportunity to engage in competitive matches and festivals with other local schools. The equipment and resources purchased will enable us to sustain the additional sports now offered. In addition, the use of Sports partnership coaches and links will enable us to develop the quality and range of our existing PE and Sports curriculum.
This academic year the PE team hope to offer an even wider variety of clubs, further increase participation of all children in these clubs and improve our own links with sporting providers available in the local area.
