Sports Premium
Primary School’s Sports Funding
Woodcote Primary School received £23, 140 in the year 2022-2023 and in 2023-2024 we will receive £23,100 .
Purpose of Funding
Schools have to spend the funding on improving their provision of PE and school sport, but they also have the freedom to choose how they do this.
How is Woodcote Primary using the funding?
We are using the funding to develop our school aim to provide excellence and opportunity in a range of sports.
The school already takes part in a number of local borough competitions. We feel it is important that all children have the chance to represent their school and take part in competitive sport against other schools. We will continue our existing competitions such as the Borough netball, cross country, cricket and football. We will also arrange further tournaments and fixtures between with the other primary schools within our cluster and Local Authority such as the cluster athletics.
