Sports Premuim
Introduction
At Sandhill Primary School, we recognise the contribution of PE and sports to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities has many benefits and a positive influence on the children; their health, behaviour, concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children. Our priority is to ensure high expectations are set in PE and sport so that all children progress throughout school well, including disadvantaged groups and those with special needs.

The money a school receives can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Purpose of the funding

The DfE has advised possible uses of the funding to include:
