Sports Premium Report 2024-2025

At St Peter and St Paul’s R C Primary School, physical and mental health is of utmost priority. We promote healthy lifestyles and attitudes, throughout our curriculum. Our PE curriculum is delivered and led by dedicated staff and enriched by external providers.

The PE and Sport Premium is funding for schools from the government, which is to be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport. Schools must spend the money on PE and sport, but are able to decide how best to use this funding.

Swimming Information

Swimming is an important skill and can encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.  In  accordance  with  the  National  Curriculum, schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2.

The programme of study for PE sets out the expectation that pupils should be taught to:

• swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
• use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke].
• perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

Our pupils are taught to swim in Year 5 and receive intensive swimming lessons over the course of two weeks.
