At Willow Tree we believe that sport and PE are extremely important to the physical health and emotional wellbeing of our children. We are dedicated to raising standards in PE and ensuring that more children are becoming more active and engaged in sports. We strongly feel that a fun, varied and competitive PE curriculum and extra-curricular sporting activities have a positive influence on all children and provides a great baseline for an active and healthy future.
In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport. This funding is to be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE. Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
This year we have been allocated £17,410 to spend on improving our PE provision at Willow Tree Primary School.
The report below shows how we are allocated Sports Premium funding at Willow Tree Primary School and how we spend this funding for the benefit of our children.
Year 6 pupils at Willow Tree Primary School have block swimming lessons in the summer term. Once the pupils have completed their swimming block in the Summer term 2, swim levels will be published on the school website.
Please find below our swimming data for our 2022-2023 Year 6 pupils.
