Please read the information below which gives details of our Sports Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
The Sports Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to support the school in raising the quality of sport. This money can be spent on any aspect of sport within school including: resources, coaches, transport to events, implementing clubs etc.
All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received in 2025 - 2025 and details of how the allocation was spent. We received £21,020 and the school spent £22,471
For the academic year 2026 – 2027 Brightside Primary School we have only been given one term of funding because it is uncertain whether the sports premium funding is continuing in 2027
2026 – 2027 Allocation - for Brightside Primary school
This year the school has budgeted to spend £5100 in Sports Premium funding. It will be used in the following ways:
Sports Objectives

The dates set this year are:
24th September 2026 12th January 2027 28th April 2027
The improvements in sports throughout the school will be sustainable in the future because the vast majority has been spent on resource allocation. These resources enable the children to participate in sports at an appropriate level with equipment that prepares them for future competition. Where money has been spent on inclusion in sports programmes and staffing to develop competitive games, this will be continue through money in future PE budgets.
