We aim to provide pupils with a high-quality PE curriculum alongside opportunities to be active, develop new skills, participate in clubs and experience competitive sport.

What is the PE and Sport Premium?
The PE and sport premium is additional government funding provided to eligible primary schools to improve the quality of PE, sport and physical activity they provide.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to their provision. This includes building the knowledge and skills of staff so that improvements continue to benefit pupils in future years, as well as developing or adding to the PE, sport and physical activity already provided by the school. GOV.UK
For the 2026/27 academic year, funding is calculated using the number of pupils in Years 1–6 recorded in the January 2026 school census. Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £6,240 plus £10 for each eligible pupil

How We Use the Funding
At Norbury Manor, our PE and sport premium is used strategically to enhance our existing provision and create sustainable improvements for pupils.
Our priorities include:
- developing staff confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE;
- providing pupils with a broad range of sporting and physical activities;
- increasing opportunities for pupils to participate in extracurricular sport;
- supporting participation in competitive sport and sporting events;
- providing appropriate equipment and resources to enhance PE and physical activity;
- developing opportunities for pupils to be physically active throughout the school day; and
- ensuring that opportunities are inclusive and accessible to pupils with different needs and starting points.
The premium is additional funding and must not be used to fund activities that form part of the school's core curriculum
PE and Sport at Norbury Manor
We want children to experience a broad and varied range of physical activities and sports during their time at Norbury Manor.
Our PE provision develops pupils' physical skills alongside the essential skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. Through PE, sport, clubs and competitions, pupils have regular opportunities to practise and develop our Skills Builder essential skills, including Teamwork, Leadership, Speaking, Listening, Problem Solving and Creativity.
These skills are explicitly recognised and reinforced by staff during PE and sporting activities. For example, pupils may demonstrate Leadership when organising a team, Teamwork when working towards a shared goal, Speaking and Listening when communicating with teammates, or Problem Solving when adapting a strategy during a game.
This supports our whole-school approach to Skills Builder and helps pupils understand that the skills they develop in the classroom can be applied in different situations across school life.
Pupils also have opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, festivals and competitions. We aim to encourage children to discover activities they enjoy, build confidence and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity that they can carry with them beyond primary school.
Croydon School Sport
We work with local partners to enhance the opportunities available to our pupils and staff. This supports areas such as staff development, sporting opportunities, festivals and competitions.
Our involvement in local sporting opportunities enables pupils to represent Norbury Manor, experience competition and participate in activities alongside children from other schools.
Impact of the PE and Sport Premium
We monitor the use of the PE and sport premium to ensure that it contributes to sustainable improvements in our provision.
We consider the impact of the funding on areas including:
Staff expertise – developing teachers' confidence and ability to deliver high-quality PE.
Participation – increasing opportunities for pupils to participate in sport and physical activity.
Inclusion – ensuring that pupils, including those with SEND and other identified groups, have meaningful opportunities to participate.
Competition and enrichment – providing opportunities beyond regular PE lessons through clubs, festivals and competitive sport.
Sustainability – ensuring that investment develops staff expertise, resources and provision that continue to benefit pupils.
Swimming and Water Safety
Swimming and water safety are important life skills. We monitor pupils' swimming outcomes and use this information to evaluate our provision and identify where additional support may be required.
