Sports Premium

All primary schools across the country have been provided with extra funding from the Department for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport. The purpose of the funding is to achieve clear outcomes in raising achievement and increasing opportunities for all primary aged children in PE.

For the academic year 2024-2025 we received: £17,700. This funding was only spent on PE and sports related provision in the school.

At Christopher Hatton Primary we recognise the importance that PE and sports play in the lives of children in promoting healthy lifestyles and developing them physically, emotionally and mentally.  We believe that children’s self-esteem, attitude and self-discipline are improved by being able to engage in and achieve success in sporting activities.  Being an inner-city school where the majority of pupils do not have easy access to outdoor play space, we understand the importance of our pupils being able to participate in regular physical activity and sport.  

Our Primary School Sport’s Funding will contribute to helping us achieve our aims of improving and extending our provision through having specialist PE staff, procuring additional sports professionals, entering into more competitive sporting competitions, inclusive sports events and provision of training for all staff.

2024/25 Swimming attainment data

69% of our Y6 pupils were able to swim 25m at the end of Y6, this is the national expectation. This represents very good progress from baseline as we have a very high number of children who have never been swimming before they start with school. There has been a positive impact on progress by introducing the new 2 week intensive model of teaching.
