The school has used the ‘Evidencing the Impact of Primary PE and Sport Premium Template’ (DfE October 2017) to review the provision and report on the spend for 2017/18.
For the academic year 2016/17 and this current academic year 2017/18 the school has received PE and Sports Premium Funding to promote and develop physical education and sports throughout the school and community for all children at St Oswald’s Catholic Primary school.
