PE + Sport Premium
We pride ourselves in the range of sport, outdoor and adventurous activities we offer pupils. We have many extra-curricular events and aim for 2 clubs a week being sports based, e.g. cricket, dodgeball, dance.
Through our local consortium of schools and a wider group of Allerdale schools, pupils have opportunities to compete in a range of competitions, including tennis, kwik cricket, football, hockey, netball and athletics.
Sports funding is a sum of money provided by the Government to enable us to extend and develop the quality of our provision and extend the number of opportunities available to our children, both now and for long-term sustainability.
