Sports Premium
At Mill Ford School we recognise the valuable contribution PE makes to the Health and Well Being of our pupils. Sports Pupil Premium Funding has been provided for primary pupils by the Government in order that it is used to:
“Improve the quality of the PE and sport activities schools offer their pupils, but they are free to choose the best way of using the money…”

Swimming Competency Statement 2022:
Our pupils make great progress with their water confidence and safety. Although none of our year 6 pupils are proficient with all strokes they have made good progress from their starting points, although this has been hampered by Covid 19.
Students attend swimming lessons at the Life Centre in Plymouth, and work with swimming coaches to develop their swimming skills. We use the Primary PE and Sport Premium to provide extra staff to support these sessions and to support water confidence via use of our hydro pool.
