Sports Premium

Sport Premium is funding for primary schools aimed at sustainably improving the provision of physical education and sport in primary schools as well as encouraging the development of healthy, active lifestyles in all children. This year each school will now receive £16,000 plus £10 per pupil. This year our school received £17,700

Through this funding, pupils at William Levick Primary School are offered a wide range of exciting sporting opportunities throughout the year. We work with SHAPE School Sports Partnership to coordinate a range of competitions and events for our pupils in all year groups. These include taster events (where children can experience a range of different sports and then are signposted to local clubs), in-school competitions and out of school competitions, competing against other schools. 

Extra Curriculum Clubs offered in 2023-2024 were:

  • Football
  • Dance
  • Basketball
  • Multi-sports
  • Athletics
  • Fielding games (such as cricket/ rounders)
  • Hockey

This year (2023-2024) our School’s Sports Premium Funding has enabled us to do the following:-

  • Ensure all children across the age ranges have had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sports throughout the year, including outdoor adventure type activities.
  • Subscription to SHAPE sports partnership, allowing access to a range of sporting tournaments and festivals. Each year group has had the opportunity to participate in a sporting event off-site, this has included multi sports, dodgeball, early rider and athletics.
  • Purchase a new PE scheme 'Complete PE' which has impacted the quality of PE lessons taught in school and the range of new sports children are exposed to.
  • Platinum school games mark achieved July 2024. This will help raise the profile of PE within the whole school community.
  • Participate in whole school events, such as dance, athletics and multi sports.
  • Participate in competitive events, such as football, athletics, cricket, bouldering and basketball. Our athletics team reached the Derbyshire finals of Quadkids and individual children won several first places. We also reached the finals in the Sheffield Bouldering competition, achieving both individual and group awards.
  • Allow staff to work alongside specialised sports coaches in a range of sports, such as dance, rugby and tennis, in addition to teachers delivering high quality PE lessons using the inclusive scheme Complete PE.
  • All children in KS2 have been given the opportunity to engage in the Bikeability programme and children in EYFS took part in the Early Rider Balance Bike program.
  • Provide a greater range of equipment and activities to keep children active during break and lunchtimes. The playground has been spilt into zones to allow for a range of sports and activities at breaktimes.
  • Children are successfully achieving the 60 active minutes through learning breaks and physical activities at breaktimes.
  • Maintain the high profile of PE and sport in school. We also celebrate Sporting Values each half term with a special sports assembly.
