Sports Funding

We ensure that all children at Benjamin Hargreaves have access to a varied and exciting programme of sport and P.E. combining both in school lessons and extra-curricular programme. We are very proud to have been awarded the “Sainsbury’s School Games Platinum Award.” This is a very prestigious award, achieved by only a few schools in the County, that recognises the impact of our sports provision across the school community.

Our children enjoy participation in sport at all levels and competition against other schools. They work hard and recognise that keeping fit and healthy is a life-long goal. Our P.E. curriculum is broad and balanced, our range of clubs is extensive, we ‘signpost’ talented individuals to different provision and we enter local and regional competitions frequently as well as participating in Learning Together Trust sporting events.

The Government announced provides every primary school in the country with funding (Sports Premium) that must be used to raise the profile of sports amongst children. Details of how we spend our Sports Premium funding is detailed in the documents below.
