The DfE Vision

‘All pupils leaving 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.’

What is Sports Premium?

‘Sports Premium’ funding is additional Government money for all schools to improve the quality of physical education and sport for all children. Schools must spend this specific funding on self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport but have the freedom to choose how they do this to best meet their current needs and priorities.

At Oyster Park, we recognise that all pupils regardless of their background should have equal access to a curriculum which will enable them to reach their potential. We recognise that competitive sporting ability has high status in our school community and believe passionately in the importance of physical activity and sport; its ability to make a positive difference to all our children.

We are committed to continual school improvement which will raise participation and achievement for all our children: provide high quality PE in lessons, opportunities for active play at breaks and lunchtimes, structured school sport after school and a holistic knowledge and experience of healthy lifestyles. Through this, we will encourage our children to live healthy, active lifestyles where they enjoy and participate in physical activity, they develop the confidence skills and attributes associated with good sportsmanship and leadership as well having opportunities to engage in competitive sport and coaching.
