PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROVISION AND EXPENDITURE OF SCHOOL SPORTS FUNDING

Please read the information below for details of our PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we use this funding to enhance opportunities for all pupils.

At Crowcombe  and Stogumber C of E Primary Schools, effective, enjoyable and inclusive Physical Education lies at the heart of our curriculum. We are committed to developing healthy, active bodies and minds, and recognise the vital role that PE and Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) play in supporting children's physical, emotional and social development.

Our pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to be active throughout the school day. These include daily physical activity, leadership opportunities for older pupils, outdoor learning experiences, high-quality PE lessons, and a variety of extra-curricular clubs and competitive sporting events. We believe that every child should be encouraged to develop confidence, resilience, teamwork and a lifelong love of physical activity.

As a small rural school, participation in local sports festivals, competitions and tournaments provides invaluable opportunities for our pupils to broaden their experiences, meet and compete alongside children from other schools, and develop their sporting skills in a wider context. Thanks to the support of our staff, families and the PE and Sport Premium funding, we are able to offer a broad programme of sporting opportunities. 

We are proud that our commitment to high-quality PE, school sport and physical activity has been recognised nationally through the Gold School Games Award, achieved in July 2026. This prestigious award reflects our dedication to providing inclusive, engaging and accessible sporting opportunities for all pupils, while promoting participation, leadership and personal development through sport.

A significant contribution to this success comes from our Year 6 Young Leaders, who organise and lead lunchtime activities for Key Stage 2 pupils, support younger children in developing their skills and confidence, and help to plan and deliver house competitions and sporting events throughout the year. Their enthusiasm and leadership play a key role in fostering a positive sporting culture across the school.
