Please read the information below which gives details of our PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

The PE and Sport Premium Grant is an additional government funding provided to primary schools to enhance the quality of physical education, sport, and physical wellbeing for pupils. At Chestnut Street Primary Academy, this funding is used strategically to broaden sporting opportunities, improve teaching quality, and promote active, healthy lifestyles across the school. 

Partnerships and Provision 

We work closely with Elite Sport Academy and Carre’s Grammar School Outreach Team to strengthen our PE curriculum. These partnerships give our pupils access to highquality, National Governing Body–qualified coaches who support both staff and children.
