TIDCOMBE PRIMARY SCHOOL
PE AND SPORT PREMIUM GRANT REPORT 2014-15

The aim of our PE curriculum is to develop confident, healthy, active individuals who have a lifelong love of physical activity. This will be achieved through inspiring and challenging active experiences, where children value themselves and strive for individual excellence.

At Tidcombe in 2014-15 we have used our PE Premium Grant funding in a range of different ways, and the purpose of this report is to evaluateandassess the impact of the money spent so far.

We have three main aims:

PROGRESS

Ensure all children within the school have their needs identified and supported. / PARTICIPATION
Continue to ensure that all children have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular sporting activities every single year.
