Sports Premium Grant
Sports Premium Funding
The Sports Premium money is ring-fenced funding from central government to improve the provision of P.E. and sport.
The P.E. and Sport grant must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of P.E. and sport, for the benefit of primary aged pupils.
It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
- The profile of P.E. and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching P.E. and sport
- Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- Increased participation in competitive sport
At Harris Primary Academy Kent House, we take a huge amount of pride in our P.E. and Sports offer.
School Sports Mark 2025-2026
We are proud of our commitment to providing high-quality physical education, competitive sport and active opportunities for all pupils. Through a wide range of curriculum lessons, clubs, competitions and sporting events, we encourage children to develop confidence, teamwork, resilience and a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
In recognition of our achievements, Harris Primary Academy Kent House was awarded the School Games Silver Mark for 2025-26. This national award celebrates our commitment to increasing participation in sport and physical activity, providing inclusive opportunities, and enabling pupils to represent the school in a range of competitive events.
We remain committed to building on this success and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to be active, healthy and successful in sport.
Swimming and Water Safety
We are proud that 92% of our Year 6 pupils met the National Curriculum requirements for swimming and water safety by the end of Key Stage 2.
This means that 92% of pupils were able to:
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
- Use a range of strokes effectively.
- Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
In addition, 88% of pupils demonstrated a secure understanding of water safety, including how to stay safe in and around water and how to respond appropriately in potentially dangerous situations.
Developing confidence in the water and understanding how to keep safe are important life skills. We are committed to ensuring that all pupils have the opportunity to develop these skills before they leave Kent House.
