Sports Premium
The Government is providing funding of £150 million per annum for three years (2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016) to provide new, substantial primary school sports funding in order to improve the provision of Physical Education and Sport in primary schools. This funding is being jointly provided by the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media & Sport, and is going directly to primary schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their pupils.
Their vision is that all pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
Schools must use the funding to achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport.
It is expected that there will be an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:
- the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
- the profile of PE and sport being 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
Funding is calculated on £8000 plus £5 per pupil in Years 1 to 6.
Sports Funding for Ansdell Primary in 2016/17 was £9,100
This has enabled us to develop the sports we already provide and add to the range offered to meet the interests of our children.
£4,400 of our funding is used for our membership of Lancashire School Sports Partnership. This gives us access to:
- Qualified sports coaches work with teachers to upskill them in PE lessons
- new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
- Staff training courses and resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
- Increased participation in sports competitions within the school’s cluster
- Participation in The School Games
- Change4Life clubs to support and involve the least active.
The funding enables us to pay for supply cover when teachers are attending training or sports competitions, and helps cover the cost of transport to the tournaments.
To ensure all children have access to some form of Sports club, we employ Sports for All to work with children at lunchtimes, two days per week. £575

AFC Fylde £300
