PE Sports Premium

2025-26 Department for Education PE Sports Premium

In 2024-2025 the school received £17,150. 

The school received Department for Education PE and Sports Grant Funding in the amount of £17,160 for the 2025-2026 academic year. Physical Development and Physical Education are fundamental parts of our curriculum offer.

We have utilised the funding to contribute to four specific areas:

• Extending sporting opportunities through festivals and competition including the London Youth games.
• Community engagement.
• Staff development and training.

Through targeted professional development and strategic curriculum support, our school has significantly enhanced staff confidence and subject knowledge in delivering high-quality Physical Education, including Swimming. This investment has led to the following positive impacts:

• Improved Teaching Quality: Staff now deliver PE lessons with greater clarity, consistency, and enthusiasm, resulting in more engaging and inclusive sessions for all pupils.
• Sustainable Practice: CPD opportunities through our professional learning community model, including peer observations and external training through the Youth Sports Trust lead inclusion school programme have created a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration among staff.
• Positive Pupil Outcomes: Increased staff confidence has directly contributed to improved pupil participation, enjoyment, and attainment in PE and sport, fostering habits of physical activity and building on Pupils interest and likes.
• Whole-School Impact: The raised profile of PE has supported wider school priorities such as wellbeing, resilience, and teamwork, reinforcing the role of sport in holistic education.

The use of the funding in line with DfE Guidelines, and impact of this funding, is monitored through the Pupil Progress and Provision Governing Body Committee.

Swiss Cottage School, DRC is a special needs school for pupils with complex needs. The 26 pupils in Year 6 are identified with SEN across all four categories of need. The national requirements defined by the DfE are not adapted to the context of this school. Swimming is on the timetable for all year 6 pupils, and we recognise the progress and developments each pupil in year 6 has made towards strengthened confidence within a swimming pool. 

All Key Stage 2 pupils access regularly swimming for at least a term each academic year with a specialist swimming teacher at the local leisure centre swimming pool. This supports pupils to progress across a range of meaningful areas, developing pupils’ knowledge and skills in the areas of community access, life skills, water safety, communication etc.  Less are personalised to individual pupil needs and motivations so that they make holistic progress.
