Spaldwick Sport (including sports premium)
Spaldwick Sport
We are very pleased to have been able to continue school sports clubs. We have been working with Huntingdonshire School Sports Partnership (HSSP) and St Ives Football Club. The Kestrels have enjoyed an afterschool football club whilst the Eagles have participated in an afterschool tennis club. We also have multiskills, basketball and football clubs lined up for the Spring term. We love sport at Spaldwick!
Here is a round-up of our past sport successes, we look forward to getting back to competitive sport!

PE and Sport Premium
The PE and Sport Premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.
This means that the premium should be used to:
- develop or add to the PE and sport activities that the school already offers
- make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
For example, the funding may be used to:
- hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
- provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
- introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
- support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs
- run sport competitions
- increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
- run sports activities with other schools
