Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is allocated funding for children from disadvantaged families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from families with parents in the Armed Forces.
You can view or download our Pupil Premium allocation and find out how this has been used at our school.
Pupil Premium Strategy 2023-2026
It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school.
- The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
- Broader experience of a range of sport and activities offered to all pupils.
- Increased participation in competitive sport.
This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for their children. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision for schools.
Sports Premium Spending 2023-2024
Swimming
Schools are allocated swimming slots to ensure children have the opportunity to learn to swim. Lessons are provided by Durham County Council swimming coaches. During the Covid pandemic swimming lessons were disrupted and therefore this has impacted on opportunities pupils have had to learn to swim. Swimming lessons have now resumed and we use our sport premium to provide additional access, thus aiming to ensure more pupils learn to swim in coming years. Our aim is for every child to leave North Park Primary with the ability to swim.
2022-2023 results
