Primary PE and Sport Premium

As part of our commitment to the development of primary PE/sport, the Greenwood Academies Trust has created a strategic plan to enhance provision and generate longevity through individual bespoke training opportunities.

To facilitate this plan, a proportion of the PE and Sport Premium Funding (£1,400 per Academy) will be utilised. The remaining funding will be used by Principals to further enrich their PE and sport provision, taking into consideration individual sports partnerships, tailored areas for curriculum development and localised specialist providers and facilities.

The Director of Sport is available to advise and support all primary Principals with all aspects of PE and Sport (including PE and Sport Premium Funding).

Below is the package of support that all primary Academies receive within the Trust. This includes potential development areas and the pedagogy supporting the initiatives.
