The Government is providing funding to provide substantial primary school sport funding. The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. It is known as the ‘sports premium’.
Purpose of the funding
Schools have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Edinburgh Primary School received approximately £9000 for 2013/2014 as part of this funding.
The money is spent on:
• Membership of the Waltham Forest Sports Federation
• Employing sports coaches to work alongside classteachers to support continuing professional development
• Workshops to promote activity in the playground at playtime and lunchtime (eg hula hoop workshops)
• Supporting and subsidising extra curricular provision to provide a broad range of options for children
• ‘Taster’ sessions delivered by specialist coaches eg rugby in Year 5 and 6

The impact of the School Sports Premium on Edinburgh Primary School Pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment
The School Sports Premium 2015-2016 had a significant impact on Pupils’ participation and attainment in PE and sport including:
•Greater confidence of teachers in delivering PE as part of the curriculum especially in outdoor sports due to the specialised coaching.
•A significant number of children engaged in skipping as a major part of their play time and lunchtimes routines.
•Delivery of high quality coaching sessions in areas such as Basketball, Football and Cricket has resulted in an increased amount of success for our school sports teams, especially the girls football teams who won their league and were runners up in the cup final.
•Increased opportunities to take part in competitions through the WFSSN (Waltham Forest School Sports Network) leading to many more pupils taking up sports they have never participated in before.
•Providing a wider range of extra-curricular clubs such as Cricket, Football, Basketball and multi-skills.
•The awarding of the Sainsbury Bronze Sports Mark to the school
•The training up and employment of Sports Ambassadors to organise and run school competitions ranging from Football leagues, Tennis and Sports Days for all pupils across KS1 and KS2.
