Mellis Church of England Primary School - 'To Be Our Best'

Sports Premium Allocation 2025-2026

This year the Sports Premium budget will be £17,330. This will allow the school to continue to invest in equipment and expertise.

We also plan on continuing to develop the skills of our staff through spending part of the funding on courses and training.

Moving forward, the premium will also help support the cost of for multiple year groups  to receive swimming instruction for one full term each year. 

For a more detailled breakdown of costings please see the Funding Plan to the right.

The School makes considerable efforts to attend as many external fixtures as possible, and to support the various sports competitions with clubs and pre-tournament training. For the impact of the sports provision within School, please click here to go to the PE and Sports News page to learn more.

This is the fifth year in succession that we have achieved the Gold Sports Mark, so this academic year we are going for our Platinum Sports Mark! We' re really excited by this, so watch this space!

Please see below for the latest Development Plans and Impact Reviews.

The School is keen to use the Sports Premium money to properly embed skill sets within the school, and of course to improve outcomes for children! The School has invested heavily in training, additional equipment, as well as securing swimming lessons for multiple year groups. We are working even more closely with Hartismere High School to enhance the opportunities they offer as a specialist sports school.
