Sports Premium
Our Recent Allocation
- 2024/25 – £17,800
Introduction
The government provides schools with funding to improve the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to give them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle. Schools receive £10,000 per year plus £10 per pupil for all eligible pupils in year groups one to six.
Schools will be held to account for how they spend the sport funding. Ofsted has strengthened its coverage of sport and PE within the Inspectors’ Handbook and supporting guidance, so that schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision offered.
Into its eleventh year, the Primary PE and Sport Premium supports schools to ensure equal access, support all pupils to be active for 60 minutes a day and ensure the delivery of two hours of quality PE for all pupils.

About the Sports Premium
The National Curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:
- Develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities.
- Are physically active for sustained periods of time.
- Engage in competitive sports and activities.
- Lead healthy, active lives.
At St. Mark’s, we love sport and we have received recognition for our work in achieving these National Curriculum aims. We have received the following awards:
What our Children Say…
“I really enjoy doing dance and getting to freestyle in the middle.”
“PE is my favourite because we do lots of different sports and we get to be active and play fun games.”
“I didn’t think I was any good at cricket, but now I am. I liked the coach and now I can hit the ball far!”
“I like our coach, he helps me to do better at tennis.”
“I had never done boxing before, but I actually quite like it.”
“My favourite sporting event was when I got to do gymnastics at a professional gymnastic centre because I had never done that before and it was a lot of fun.”
