Physical Activity and PE at East Bergholt CEVC Primary School

Primary Schools build the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity.  East Bergholt Primary School ensures that pupils have access to at least 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, alongside high-quality PE lessons.  Children have the opportunity to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. 

What is the PE and sport premium?

PE and sport premium grant funding is used by schools to support the aims above.

How the PE and sport premium is used

East Bergholt uses the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides.  The PE and sport premium is used to:

• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
• develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides
• increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
• engage all pupils in regular physical activity
• raise the profile of PE across the school
• offer a broader range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
• increase participation in competitive sport

“PE helps us stay healthy, active and confident. I like trying new sports and learning that it is important to keep going and do our best.” – Year 3 pupil

Primary PE and Sport Premium Report 2025–2026

From 2025–2026, the Department for Education introduced a new way for schools to report how they use the Primary PE and Sport Premium. Instead of the previous template, schools are now required to publish a copy of their completed digital report.

The report below explains how we have invested our funding to enhance PE, sport and physical activity at East Bergholt CEVC Primary School, the impact this has had on our pupils, and how we will continue to build on these improvements. It also includes the required Year 6 swimming and water safety information.
