Sports Premium
Shaftesbury Park recognizes the significant role physical activity plays in fostering the holistic well-being of our students. Physical activity offers a multitude of benefits, including:
- Enhanced Physical Health: regular exercise strengthens the body, improves cardiovascular health, and promotes overall physical development.
- Improved Mental and Emotional Well-being: physical activity has a positive impact on mental health by reducing anxiety and depression, boosting self-esteem, and promoting emotional well-being.
The importance of physical activity is widely acknowledged, as evidenced by the government's PE and Sports Premium funding.
This initiative allocates additional resources to all primary schools, allowing them to continually improve the quality of physical education programs, physical activity opportunities, and sports programs offered within the core curriculum.
The amount given to Shaftesbury Park for the academic year 2021-22 is £18,756 (based on our pupil numbers) to spend how we felt best.
