PE Grant

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games gave us an opportunity to inspire the nation to enjoy sport. The government is determined to secure a significant and lasting legacy from the games, and to develop children’s enjoyment of sport and physical activity from an early age.

Sport should be an important part of any school. Great schools have long known that sporting excellence and participation, alongside strong cultural opportunities, go hand in hand with high academic standards.

Schools, teachers and sporting bodies all agree that particular support is required for primary schools. As a result the Prime Minister has announced £300m funding over 2 years for primary school PE and sport.

Park Hill has received £14,935. The school has decided to use this money to provide the children with the opportunity to try out new sports by arranging a special day of sports both on and off site. Details are still being arranged. The funds will also pay for transportation when the school takes part in sporting activities off site such as cricket at Edgbaston. Training is also being given to teachers to develop PE within the school.  Below is a document showing how we are spending the fudning.

We expect the impact on the children to be positive, encouraging the children to try new sports and develop a healthy lifestyle.
