From 2013 the government announced that it was to provide additional funding for primary schools to improve the provision of Physical Education (PE) and sports. At Bedale we are committed to providing high quality physical education and aim to encourage all children to enjoy leading healthy and active lifestyles through our Physical Education.  

We are currently using our Sports Premium funding to raise standards and participation levels in PE throughout the school. On this page you can find out more about what we have spent the money on, focused around the five key indicators:

1. The engagement of all pupils in regular physical  activity – Chief Medical Officers  guidelines recommend that primary school pupils undertake at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day in school.
   
2. The profile of PESSPA being raised across the school  as a tool for whole school improvement.
   
3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching  PE and sport.
   
4. Broader experience of a range  of sports and activities offered  to all pupils.
   
5. Increased participation in competitive sport.
