The Government is providing funding of £150 million per annum to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school Head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. OFSTED will play a significant role in ensuring that schools target this funding in areas which will lead to clear outcomes in raising standards and opportunities in PE and school sport for all children throughout the Primary Phase. All schools will receive a lump sum of £8,000 plus a premium of £5 per pupil for the next two academic years.

Sports Funding 2018-19
Total Fund Allocated: £18, 182.00
Key Indicator 1: Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity. £18589.50
- We introduced a daily mile to get all pupils undertaking at least 15 minutes of additional activity per day, this has now been extended and we have children running around the path
- A footpath was built around the school field so the children can access a wider area of the area throughout the year to promote increased physical activity.
- As part of our play equipment we have built a new climbing/play tower. It is situated on our footpath so children are accessing on a daily basis.
- The climbing tower will allow more creative play – both co-operative and individual.
- The tower offers different opportunities to learn new skills.
- The surface of both the footpath and climbing tower is all weather so the facility can be accessed all year long.
Sustainability: The tarmac for the path and the area under the climbing frame is permanent. It is used daily by the whole school. The climbing frame comes with a 10 year guarantee but with good management, a programme of maintenance and annual inspections it will be around for a lot longer.
Key Indicator 2: The Profile of PE and Sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
- The new footpath will increase the profile of PE and Sport across the school because all children will participate in additional physical activity daily.
- The new climbing tower will increase the profile of PE and Sport across the school because all children will access the different opportunities it brings,
- Celebration assembly to ensure the whole school is aware of the importance of PE and Sport and encourage all pupils to aspire to be on the ‘Hall of Fame’ notice board; celebrating their achievements.

- We have contributed towards Heathfield College to enable them to run competitions for all schools in our HASP cluster.
- We have had several coaches visit that have offered taster sessions, the children are then offered the opportunity to follow up these sessions at after school clubs – cricket, tennis and Karate
Sustainability: Giving children opportunities is paramount to Dallington. We have not only had coaches in but advertised their organsiations to the children and in some cases started after school clubs. HCC will continue to run this initiative beyond the end of the life of the PE Grant. Schools will be discussing more of a partnership approach with HCC i.e. each school taking on the arrangement of a tournament under the guidance of an HCC PE specialist
Key Indicator 5: Increased participation in competitive sport.

Sustainability: Following on meetings with the sports crew we have introduced some different after school clubs. This will continue going forward. We have tried hard to ensure we enter a B team into more HASP events – allowing more children to represent their school. This will continue going forward.
