Sports Premium Funding 2025-26

This year, Southgate School will receive approximately £16,450 to allocate to the area of Sports Premium. In October 2025 we will receive approximately £8225 with the next instalment in April 2026 approximately £8225.

Over the course of the academic year 2025-26, Key Stage 2 pupils will again have access to swimming lessons at Kirklees Leisure Centre. Additional staff will be allocated, where appropriate to ensure that all pupils are able to access these lessons in a safe and meaningful way.

This will enable a sustained number of pupils to work towards meeting the following National Curriculum KS2 requirements for swimming:

• Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m.
• Use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, back stroke and breast stroke.
• Perform a safe, self-rescue in different water-based situations.

Across 2025-26 we will continue to build on the number of accessible sporting competitions that we participate in, within the local community, to allow an increased number of pupils to have access to a wide range of sports. Funding will be put in place to ensure this is staffed appropriately and resources such as transport are put in place. Specific funding will also be allocated to in-house resources that facilitate inclusive practice in PE lessons for all pupils.

In 2024-25, a PE Hub was created to encourage collaboration between special schools in Kirklees. This was to share good practice, event ideas and curriculum collaboration/reviews.

This year, we will continue our partnership with Sporting Partnerships and Initiatives from Newsome (SPIN) who will work closely with our Healthy Lifestyles Leads and Personal Development Lead to provide engaging and accessible Enrichment opportunities for our pupils as well as professional development of new and less experienced teachers. This will ensure that all pupils receive a thorough, well balanced P.E offer, allowing them to develop a wider range of skills and further promote engagement, inclusivity and accessibility in lessons. The Healthy Lifestyles Leads will continue to ensure that high quality resources are available to all classes through regular auditing and purchase them as necessary to allow teachers to continue to deliver the teaching scheme “Get set 4 P.E”.
