Since 2013, schools have received a Government Sports and PE funding grant, provided to improve sports and PE provision. We decide how to spend this through auditing resources, consulting on provision, identification of our aims and by measuring the impact and sustainability of our provision.

The sports/PE we are required to teach as part of the National Curriculum are team games, dance, gymnastics, swimming, athletics, outdoor and adventurous activities; the curriculum also covers keeping fit and healthy.

Our aims to improve sports/PE provision at Levens School:

To increase provision for promoting fitness, healthy lifestyles and general ‘wellbeing’ for our pupils;
To increase opportunities for our pupils to participate in shared sports events and competitions with other schools locally;
To improve sporting outcomes and individual sporting ability;
To offer new sporting opportunities that take maximum advantage of our excellent local environment
To broaden the range of sports/PE we offer our pupils
To increase opportunities to use specialist facilities and resources at with other local secondary schools
To improve the quality of our PE teaching, ensuring that all lessons are at least good and often outstanding with the support from PE passport
To improve our provision for both SEND and more able and talented pupils in sports/PE
To improve the quality and range of school resources for school deployment
To ensure sustainability of improvements into the longer term.
