Sports Premium Funding
Sports Premium Funding
The Government have announced a renewed package of funding for physical education (PE) and school sport. Through a new ‘Sport Premium’ the Government is providing funding to support the delivery of PE and sport in primary schools.
This funding will be ring fenced and will be allocated directly to primary schools across England, providing them with dedicated resources to buy in invaluable expertise and support. Funding will be allocated through a lump sum for each school and a per-pupil top-up mechanism. The formula will reference the number of primary-aged pupils (i.e. children between the ages of 5 and 11). The amount awarded by the DfE for the Academic year 2018/2019 is £17,874. This payment is spread across two financial years.

Winnington Park Primary School is an active member of the Vale Royal School Sports Partnership. We have many extra-curricular sporting activities for pupils at Winnington Park Primary school, including football, netball, hockey, dance, rugby, gymnastics, cricket and athletics. Over 75% of children in Key Stage 2 attend an after school sporting club each week. We also participate in as many competitions and festivals as we can and we encourage all children to take part in at least one event. In 2017 and 2018, we were awarded the GOLD School Games Mark.
