Funding
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to schools for pupils who are eligible for free school meals, or have been at any point in the last six years.
Poppleton Ousebank Primary School recognises that all pupils, regardless of their background, should have equal access to a curriculum which will enable them to reach their potential. The pupil premium is a Government initiative that targets extra money to pupils from deprived backgrounds, which research shows underachieve compared to their peers.

Sports Grant
Poppleton Ousebank Primary School is committed to the highest quality of provision for sports across the school. We work in partnership with York Schools Sports Partnership, Total Sports, Taekwondo York, Belinda Turnbull Tennis, Dance factory and Netball coaching. Through partnerships we participate in both training and development, inter-school and regional competitions enabling pupils from both Key Stages to participate in both fun and competitive sports. School staff also provide coaching for football, cricket and gymnastics and swimming is part of the Year 4 sports curriculum.
We use our Sports Grant to ensure that children have access to a range of resources, coaches and competitions. Total Sports provide quality sporting cover during PPA time for staff, ensuring a consistent approach across the school.
Our children are so engaged in sports that many also attend clubs external to school for football, cricket, gymnastics, rugby, athletics, swimming, karate and tennis.
Children in Year 4 and 6 also take part in school residentials with outdoor pursuits and walking planned as core experiences.
The children are enthusiastic about the wealth of opportunities open to them and are aware of the importance of exercise and following a healthy lifestyle

Accountability
Since September 2013, Ofsted inspections report on PE and sport provision and on how schools
spend their additional funding. The Government also holds schools accountable by requiring them to
publish on their websites, details of how they spend (or will spend) their PE and sport grant. They
must also include detail about the impact this funding has on pupils’ PE and sport participation and
attainment.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE
and sport they offer. This means that schools should use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to:
– develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
– build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will
benefit pupils joining the school in future years
