What is the PE and Sports Premium?
The Sports Premium is designed to increase the level of skills children have in all areas of sport, to increase their level of fitness and also their enjoyment of sporting activities. The vision of the government is that: ‘ALL pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport’.
John Clifford School receives funding each year to improve provision for PE and sport within the school. This money is from the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and has been ‘ring-fenced’ which means it can only be spent on sport provision and not on any other areas in the school. We can use this money to:
- Employ specialist P.E. teachers/coaches to work alongside teachers when teaching P.E.
- Provide new or additional sports clubs
- Pay for professional development
- Pay for cover to release teachers for development
- Run sports competitions
- Buy materials and resources for P.E./sport
Since the Sports Premium funding began, we have provided the children with a range of different sporting opportunities, enhanced the PE curriculum and trained our school staff to deliver high quality sports lessons.
It is important to emphasise that the focus of spending must lead to long lasting impact against the vision (above) that will live on well beyond the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding. The continuation of the Sports Premium funding will enable us to sustain the impact of high quality sports provision in the following areas:
- Teachers develop their subject knowledge in delivering sporting lessons through CPD training, allowing them to deliver a range of sports lessons across the full curriculum
- Teachers develop their subject knowledge through support from specialist coaches
- Teachers develop their expertise in games through the purchase of new equipment
- Children leave school being able to swim the required 25m, following a carefully planned programme of swimming lessons in Year 3 & 6
- Children in Years 1-6 have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting clubs
- Children have the opportunity to try new sports and sporting activities
School Games Mark Accreditation
The School Games Mark is a government led awards scheme administered by the Youth Sport Trust, which rewards schools for a commitment to the development of competition across schools and into the community. We are proud tho be a 'Gold' school.

June 2019 - Skipping Workshops
In preparation for our sponsored ‘Jump Rope for Heart’ Event on the 18thJune we had 2 days of skipping workshops with Dan the skipping man! The whole school from our youngest to our oldest children took part in workshops to teach them either how to skip or how to improve their skills. At the end of each day there was a skipping assembly, where children were selected to showcase their skills and what an array of skills we saw. Single bounce, double bounce, hopping, high knees, running skip, frog skipping, crossed feet, crossed hands, double skips, rocker, hop scotch, partner side by side, partner face to face, long rope, double Dutch and French skipping. Who knew there were so many different ways to skip!! We have purchased two whole class sets of skipping ropes (KS1 and KS2) and 12 French skipping bands using the PE and Sports premium money. Everyone had lots of fun, some of the staff tried out their skills after school and Dan the skipping man was very impressed with the behaviour and...

June 2019: JUMP ROPE FOR HEART DAY
JUMP ROPE FOR HEART DAY On Tuesday 18th June the school will be running a Jump Rope for Heart fund raising activity for the British Heart Foundation. This will be our main fund raising event of the year with 80% going to the BHF and 20% to the school's playground equipment fund. We use our Sports Premium money in school to promote sport, fitness and well-being for our children but also we want to support our local community as heart disease affects us all. We will be sending out sponsorship forms and encouraging the children to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. The children will be taking part in a 20 minute skipping challenge to develop their fitness, work their heart, raise money and have fun. Please support us and the British Heart Foundation
