The West Winch ‘Pupil Premium Strategy Statement for the academic year 2025 to 2026 can be downloaded from the bottom of this page. Our Pupil Premium Policy can be downloaded from the school policies section. During 2025 to 2026, West Winch Primary School will receive approximately £77,500 Pupil Premium funding.
During 2025 to 2026, West Winch Primary School will receive approximately £17,880 to improve our provision of PE across the whole school.
For several years, the Government has provided additional primary school sport funding in order to improve the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. All state-maintained schools, academies, middle schools, special schools and pupil referral units which have primary aged pupils receive the funding.
This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision for PE and sport in schools. We will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils progress and participation in PE and school sport. We are required to publish on-line information about how we have used the additional funding, including details about our sporting provision alongside curriculum details. This will ensure that parents/carers and others are made fully aware of the PE and sporting provision at West Winch Primary School.
All schools with primary-aged pupils will receive a lump sum of £16000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil. Smaller schools will receive £1000 per pupil.
We believe in a holistic approach to the development of sport and physical activity for all and encourage collaboration and partnership working to make the best use of resources and enhance PE and sport provision in order to raise participation and achievement for all pupils.
We have undertaken a Sport Premium Review for 2024 to 2025 and are currently creating a Sports Premium Action Plan for 2025 to 2026 to raise standards and participation levels in PE throughout the school.
Our rationale for the use of Sports Premium funding is that it must be used so that:
All children benefit regardless of sporting ability
Staff have access to training opportunities and continued professional development
The most able children are given the opportunity to compete in tournaments with other schools
We make use of collaborative and partnership working
Any spending/investment must have a legacy and/or be sustainable
