All pupils should lead healthy, active lives and St. Andrew's CE Primary School has a key role to play in achieving this aim. We believe at primary school, foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded. All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Academic achievement can improve in school because of the benefits children can gain.

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims, prioritising spending to improve in the following 5 key areas:

• Increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport.
• Increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport.
• Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement.
• Offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils.
• Increase participation in competitive sport.

OFSTED 2026: Personal Developemnt & Wellbeing:

There is an abundance of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. This has been a priority since the previous inspection and an aspect of the school which parents particularly value. Pupils take part in a range of sporting activities and events in the local area, and the school also hosts its own events, such as a girls' tag rugby competition. Leaders ensure that rates of participation are high, including for disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
