PE AND SPORTS PREMIUM STATEMENT

At Shamblehurst Primary School, we are committed to using the PE and Sport Premium strategically to improve the quality of physical education, increase participation in sport and physical activity, and develop the confidence and expertise of our staff. During this academic year, a significant proportion of funding was invested in providing high-quality extra-curricular sporting opportunities for pupils, ensuring greater access to a wide range of sports and physical activities beyond the curriculum.

Alongside this, funding was used to enhance staff knowledge through professional development and specialist support, including online training resources and external expertise, helping to secure sustainable improvements in the quality of PE provision. Additional investment in equipment and educational platforms has further strengthened our ability to deliver engaging, inclusive and progressive physical education experiences for all pupils. Our spending reflects our commitment to increasing participation, raising achievement, promoting healthy lifestyles and ensuring a lasting legacy of high-quality PE and sport across the school.
