Sports Premium

Please read the information below which gives details of our PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

What is the 'Sports Premium'?

In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for Physical Education (PE) and Sport – often referred to as a 'Sport Premium'. This funding is to be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and Sport provision.
When asked about the 'Sport Premium' at its launch, Lord Coe reflected: 'When I stood up in Singapore in 2005, I spoke of London's vision to connect young people with the inspirational power of the Games so they are inspired to choose sport. By focussing on primary schools, we have the opportunity to use sport and physical activity to shape the daily lives of young people. I know from my own experience what an impact teachers and their engagement can have on the lives of young people.' (Lord Coe)

How will we be spending the 'Sport Premium' funding?

  • Active play

Cross-country

 

 

Year 5 and 6 District Cross Country representing Hatfield and Onslow St Audrey’s

  Five of our year 5s and 1 of our year 6s qualified for this year's Welwyn and Hatfield District Cross Country event.

They teamed up with other local schools to represent Welwyn and Hatfield in the district event.

They remained resilient and put all of their effort into their performance. They ran extremely well and completed a very difficult race around Stanborough Lakes. 

 

Football 

Our boys' and girls' football teams have been busy passing, dribbling and tackling their way through their leagues this year.

Well done boys!

 

Speed stacking

8 year 3 and 4 pupils went to Onslow St Audrey's School to take part in a speed stacking event. 

They were extremely successful in the individual as well as the team events which took place.
