How We Spend the Sports Premium Funding at Enfield Academy of New Waltham
At Enfield Academy of New Waltham, we believe in the absolute importance of keeping children healthy, including their mental well-being, and encouraging them to develop healthy lifestyles for life.
We have a range of physical activities running across break-times and a wide range of sports clubs (including football, zumba, gymnastics, tag rugby and badminton). Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.
The PE and sport premium helps us to achieve this aim, providing primary schools nationally with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so that we have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for our pupils.
Please read the reports below, which shows how we have used our sports premium grant.
