The Sports Premium is to ensure:

• Improve the provision and quality of PE & School Sport at our school
• Broaden the sporting opportunities and experiences available to pupils
• To develop a love of sport and physical activity

All children from years 1 to 6 are taught a good range of sports throughout the year, such as rugby, football, basketball, cricket, rounders, athletics, dance, gymnastics, cross-country. This year, we have introduced netball and hockey to key stage 2 and cricket to key stage 1. In a typical week, all children in years 1 to 6 receive 2.5 hours of sports. Children in reception have one dedicated sports lessons a week with our PE instructor.

Many sports are taught by specialist instructors and teachers and the children participate well and acquire good skills. In inter-schools competitions, Gresham Village competes extremely well with much bigger schools. This year, we won the partnership rugby and KS1 cross-country competitions. For key stage 1 and 2 athletics and cross-country, the school fielded every pupil in different events.
Participation in after-school sports clubs is high. During the year, we have offered tennis, dance, martial arts, key stage 1 sports and key stage 2 sports clubs. This term 60 places have been taken at after-school sports clubs.
