Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.

Schools must use Sports Premium funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport they provide.

Ryton on Dunsmore Provost Williams CofE Academy are required to publish details of how we spend the Sports Premium funding allocated to us.
