PE and Sport at Langold-Dyscarr Community School

As a member of the SHINE Multi Academy Trust, we share a common goal for PE and Sports Premium; one in which all pupils leave our school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle, with lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

Our intention has been to target the PE and Sports Premium in the following areas:-

• To increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• To offer a broader experience of a range of sports and activities to all pupils
• To engage all pupils in regular physical activity in order to 'kick start' a healthy lifestyle
• To increase participation in competitive sport and signpost pupils for further development
• To raise the profile of PE and sport across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement

For a detailed breakdown of how the PE and Sports funding has been spent and an evaluation of its impact during 2021/2022, please see our Primary PE and Sports Premium Section.
