The Government provides funding to each school in England to help improve the quality of PE and sport offered in schools.   The DFE’s Sports Grant provides £16,000 per annum plus £10 per pupil. This funding is ring-fenced and, therefore, can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

Through pupil and staff questionnaires and a thorough audit of resources, the following areas were identified for improvement:

• Develop the indoor space by installing multi-use wall bars.
• Develop the outdoor area, in particular the infant and junior trim trails.
• Offer additional sporting opportunities for pupils.
• Improve staff skills and confidence in the teaching of PE.
• Increase pupil participation in intra and inter-school competitions and events.

All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s and Cutthorpe's ambitions.
