PE, Sports and the School Sports Premium at Red Oak Primary School

Here at Red Oak Primary School, we are fortunate enough to be funded by the governments School Sports Premium Fund. The government grants premium money to be used in developing sports in UK schools. We take sports and PE very seriously at our school. Below is an outline of how we have been spending our sports premium grant:

1. Travel costs for all school teams competing in tournaments and fixtures.
2. Hiring Professional rugby coaches for our school rugby clubs.
3. Multi Skill coaches for our Friday lunchtime club and Friday after school club.
4. Resources used for competition and after school training (this year we have purchased a new football goal, a set of new rugby balls and a set of size 4 footballs to enhance the development of our school teams and after school clubs).
5. New Red Oak team kits for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 children.
6. Staff PE and Sports training course costs.
7. Our healthy schools Golden Mile initiative programme.
