PE & Sports Premium at Billingborough 

Since 2012, schools have been given specific government funding for sport. 

Schools must spend the funding to improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils, guided by the 5 Key Indicators shown below.

At the top of this page, you will find a PDF document: a financial breakdown of the different ways we have invested our PE and Sport Premium budget, with reference to these key indicators shown below:

Since 2017, the funding has been increased to help schools promote physical activity in young people, as part of the Government's plan to reduce obesity in children.

Billingborough School is committed to encouraging, and actively raising awareness of, the benefits of an active lifestyle. The increased funding must; "Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years" https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pe-and-sport-premium-for-primary-schools.

There are 5 key indicators we strive towards

Swimming

The school uses the Leisure Centre at Sleaford for swimming lessons. We travel by coach and the children have a half hour session in the water taught by the qualified instructors at the pool.

Children usually have the opportunity to swim in Key Stage 2 until they have achieved their 25m award.

The school funds the cost of transport and lessons. Parents are invited to make voluntary contributions if they wish. 

In some cases, we use sports premium to subsidise children who need longer than average to attain this skill.  It took one of our girls three years. But she earned the swimming plate in 2018!
