Branfil Primary School’s Sport Funding
At Branfil Primary School, we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that a thorough and varied PE curriculum and extensive extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.
Our Primary School Sport’s Funding will enable us to continue and extend our provision through subscribing to the Havering School Sports Collective, entering into more competitive sports competitions and training our staff to deliver in-house quality PE sessions.
What is the Sports Premium?
The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport with an aim to improving the quality of sport and PE for all school children. Schools have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they have the freedom to choose how they do this.

Intent when attending inter-school sports events
We aim to ensure that we participate in a wide variety of sports throughout the year and motivate sportspeople at all levels of engagement and ability. To achieve this, we have three levels of intent when attending inter-school sporting events.
These three levels are;
Inspire: aimed at pupils who are very new to a sport
Aspire: aimed at pupils who are still developing their skills in a sport
Higher: aimed at highly skilled, active and engaged pupils
