PE and Sports Premium at KWPS

Subject Leader: Mr B Smith

At Kirkham and Wesham Primary School, we believe that physical education, sport and physical activity play a vital role in every child's development. We are committed to providing high-quality PE and a wide range of sporting opportunities that encourage children to lead healthy, active lifestyles whilst developing confidence, teamwork, resilience and a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.

We recognise that being physically active not only benefits children's physical health but also supports their emotional wellbeing, behaviour, concentration and readiness to learn. Through our PE curriculum, enrichment opportunities and competitive sport, we aim to inspire every child to achieve their personal best.

PE and Sport Premium

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is additional Government funding provided to improve the quality of PE, sport and physical activity in primary schools.

This funding enables us to improve teaching, increase participation in physical activity and provide pupils with a wider range of sporting opportunities that have a lasting impact on health, wellbeing and achievement.
