Primary PE Funds 2025-2026 (updated Sept 26)

Our allocation for the year was £16,640 with a carry forward from 2024-2025 of £310.00

We spent all funds awarded along with the £310.00 carry forward leaving £0.00 to carry forward into 2026-2027

Purchases made from the funding included:

• Purchasing of new bikes of various sizes to match student heights along with planned maintenance. Along with safety equipment such as helmets and high visibility vests. In doing so, we are now able to offer bike-ability sessions for all eligible pupils.
• Investment in Dance sessions for pupils along with training for staff members to be able to roll out and embed Yoga across the primary department. Yoga continues to have a positive impact on the mental health and wellbeing of our pupils.
• Additional staffing and associated costs to enable swimming and water based PE activities for all pupils across the primary phase who are below the curriculum standards in terms of swimming and water safety requirements. For many of our pupils, given their level of additional need and/or complex health conditions, swimming and water based activities and developed and delivered to support the following:
  • Water Safety
  • Managing health conditions and providing positive therapy interventions
  • Post-surgery treatment via detailed planning
  • Body positioning and improved posture
  • Physiotherapy
  • Communication
• Dance and movement sessions for pupils along with training for staff to be able to roll out and embed Dance across the primary department.

We currently have 0% of our Year 6 pupils who are able to swim 25M.
We currently have 0% of our Year 6 pupils who are using a range of strokes effectively.
We currently have 0% of our Year 6 pupils who are able to perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations.

In the 2025-26 academic year, 0% of the Year 6 cohort met the national curriculum swimming and water safety requirements. As such, we continue to fund swimming lessons into secondary phase for all pupils who have not reached this standard.
