Specialist Sports Funding
It is anticipated that St John's will receive approximately £17,000 for the academic year 2024/2025.
The impact of this funding in previous years has been to increase the variety and quality of sports we offer both during curriculum time and after school activities. We achieve this by using the funding to employ the services of professional sports coaches, who also deliver CPD training to staff. The funding has also helped the school to improve performance in competition. Due to the funding we achieved the GOLD Sainsbury's Sports Award in July 2018 which has been maintained ever since. This year we are aiming for the Platinum Award.
This current school year, as well as providing coaches, we will use funding to purchase equipment, storage facilities, to continue Woodland Schools and to further develop the health and wellbeing of all the children within the school, during lessons and in after school clubs.
