Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding provided by the government to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged children.

Funding is provided for children who are eligible for, or have been eligible for, free school meals during the previous six years, as well as looked-after and previously looked-after children, including eligible children who have left care through adoption, a special guardianship order or a child arrangements order.

At Blackfield Primary and Nursery School, we are ambitious for every child. We use Pupil Premium funding carefully to help remove barriers to learning, provide additional support and opportunities, and ensure that disadvantaged children are able to achieve and thrive.

Our approach is informed by evidence and an understanding of the individual needs of our children. Funding may be used to support high-quality teaching, targeted academic support and wider strategies that address barriers to learning, attendance, wellbeing and participation in school life.

Each year, we publish our Pupil Premium Strategy Statement, which explains our priorities, how we intend to use the funding and the impact of our strategy on outcomes for disadvantaged children.

Our current and previous Pupil Premium Strategy Statements can be found below.

PE and Sport Premium

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is additional government funding provided to primary schools to improve the quality of PE, physical activity and sport available to children.

At Blackfield Primary and Nursery School, we believe that physical activity and sport play an important part in children's physical health, wellbeing, confidence and personal development. We want every child to have opportunities to be active, experience a wide range of sports and activities, and develop positive attitudes towards physical activity that can continue beyond primary school.

We use our PE and Sport Premium to make additional and sustainable improvements to our provision. This includes developing the quality of PE teaching, increasing opportunities for children to participate in physical activity and competitive sport, providing a broader range of experiences and ensuring that all children have opportunities to get involved.

Each year we publish details of how we have used our funding, the impact it has had on our children and how improvements will be sustained.

Our current and previous PE and Sport Premium Reports can be found below.

PE and Sport Premium 2025–2026

Funding
Blackfield Primary and Nursery School received £19,570 in PE and Sport Premium funding for the 2025–2026 academic year. The full allocation was spent during the year, with no unspent funding remaining.

How the funding was spent
The funding was used to support the development of PE, school sport and physical activity across the school.

The school did not spend any PE and Sport Premium funding on upskilling staff to deliver swimming lessons during 2025–2026.

Targeted provision
During 2025–2026, the school used PE and Sport Premium funding to provide or improve opportunities for:

• pupils with SEND;

• pupils with long-term medical conditions;

• girls;

• disadvantaged pupils.

Swimming and water safety

At the end of the 2025–2026 academic year:

• 65% of Year 6 pupils could swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres;

• 50% could use a range of strokes effectively, such as front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke;

• 50% could perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.

The school spent £1,870 on additional swimming lessons or broader aquatic opportunities during the year. The school reported that this funding had a positive impact on swimming and water-safety attainment.

Looking ahead to 2026–2027

The school identified equipment and resources and School Games Organiser associated costs as areas where targeted support from the new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network would be of most benefit during 2026–2027.

Assurance

The 2025–2026 PE and Sport Premium return was submitted on behalf of Blackfield Primary and Nursery School and confirmed as accurate, authorised and signed off in line with the Department for Education's reporting requirements.

Anti-Racist Statement

At Inspire Learning Partnership we fully support everyone’s right to be safe, valued and accepted as equals in society. We are committed to confronting systemic racism whenever and wherever it occurs in our schools. The Trust will never discriminate against a pupil or prospective pupil by treating them less favourably because of their sex, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment and/or pregnancy or maternity. We also celebrate the courage, commitment, and resilience of our children whose voices we will amplify so as to ensure that young people of colour—along with their families, and our staff—feel valued and safe in our schools.
