PE and Sport Premium

Our Vision

At Locking Stumps Community Primary School, we are committed to promoting healthy, active lifestyles and ensuring that every child enjoys and benefits from high-quality Physical Education, physical activity and sport.

We believe that physical activity plays a vital role in children's physical health, mental wellbeing, confidence and personal development. Through our PE curriculum, enrichment opportunities and active school environment, we aim to inspire all children to develop a lifelong enjoyment of being active.

We use our PE and Sport Premium funding to enhance curriculum provision, increase participation, develop staff expertise and provide a wide range of sporting opportunities for all pupils.
