Carmountside Primary Academy

PE  Grant 2016/17

The government is providing additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding ‐ provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport ‐ will be allocated to primary school headteachers.

This funding is ring‐fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Carmountside Primary Academy has received an additional £8820 to spend on PE for  2016/17

This is an excellent opportunity to further develop PE provision in our school. A large proportion of the funding for this year will be spent on employing PE specialists to work alongside our staff to deliver high quality PE lessons. Staff will benefit by receiving weekly professional development which will improve their skill levels and confidence in delivering PE. Pupils will benefit as they will be participating in high quality PE lessons and the range of sports on offer will be extended.
