If you would like more information on Pupil Premium and or Sports Grant then you can go to the Department for Education website.
At Woden Primary School, we believe PE and Sport plays an important role in making our vision statement (Learning to Make a Difference) a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. We have welcomed the Government’s announcement in June 2021, confirming that schools in England will benefit from a further £320 million from the PE and Sport Premium during the academic year 2022-23. This is so that schools can continue to prioritise children’s physical wellbeing alongside education recovery, becoming healthier both mentally and physically, improving behaviour and enhancing academic achievement.
How we are using it at Woden Primary School
Our commitment to providing children with high quality competition access and pupils involved in leadership activities was recognised with the School Games National Gold Award after external validation at the end of summer 2020. This has been sustained three years later by being awarded Gold again in July 2023, for continuing to give passionate and talented children the opportunity to participate in competitive sport, but also for the physical activity, mental and physical wellbeing activities and opportunities we have provided each of the children across the school. The Gold Award is the highest of those given out by National School Games and is for a school’s contribution and commitment in providing physical activity opportunities for all and we aim to submit an application for the Platinum award in July 24. We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, whether this be extensive sports clubs, lunchtime activities, competing during sports day or during a football or multi-skills competition.
Additionally, Woden Primary is committed to delivering high quality and consistently good PE provision to all our children which enables our children to improve their health, fitness, welfare and wellbeing, their understanding of sport, teamwork and citizenship. We promote an inclusive ethos where all pupils enjoy participating in sport; empowering them to become the best they can be. One of the many ways we have used the sports funding at Woden has been to update our resources for physical education lessons. Ensuring that the equipment is accessible for all children in the school means that they are able to develop their skills in each area of the curriculum. Woden continues to be part of the ConnectEd Sports Partnership which provides advice and quality training for teachers and opportunities for pupils to participate in inter-school sports competitions. We have also employed a Health and Fitness Leader to support our PE Lead in training the boys’ and girls’ football team and accompany them to matches within the local leagues and cup matches. We will continue to broaden the level of activity within the school through sport clubs which will have a long-lasting impact on the health and fitness and wellbeing of every child in the school. We have prioritised funding for additional swimming sessions this year and last as we feel this is an essential potentially life-saving skill, as well as increasing levels of fitness. We will continue to ensure our children have access to different sporting opportunities including competitions and festivals. To promote the importance of a healthy active lifestyle children we will continue take part in inter school sport events including tournaments, sports days, sports relief days and sports challenges.
At Woden, we have developed a plan to ensure this funding is invested to maximise the long-term impact of our PE provision for pupils and staff. The impact of these initiatives is monitored through assessment of children’s skills, staff and pupil feedback, uptake of clubs etc.

The 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

- the profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
- increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- increased participation in competitive sport
The main aspects that we will develop are:
The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
- All pupils have 2 PE lessons a week and active break times and lunchtimes. Activities beyond the MUGA and outdoor equipment are starting to be provided to facilitate further activity. School provides swimming for Year 5 and 6 weekly and a variety of sport after school clubs.
The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
- School has leaders for PE, Sport and Curriculum Enhancement to raise the profile
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- The school will use the Sports Premium Grant to raise the standard of teaching and learning, by upskilling teachers in PE through a Sport & Education Package from Wolves Community Sports which will underpin progression and continuity in children’s sporting skills and address pupils’ additional needs and mental health. See attached Wolves Impact Report
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- School provides swimming for Year 5 and 6 weekly and a variety of sporting after-school clubs.

Increasing the opportunities to take part in inter-school competition will also raise levels of motivation and enthusiasm. The Sports Funding will fund the costs of participation in competitions, but more importantly the ever increasing costs of transport to different venues.
