PE and Sports Premium Funding 2020-2021
The school received Department for Education PE and Sports Grant Funding in the amount of £16,400 for the 2020-2021 academic year. The school utilises the funding in line with the Department for Education Guidance, which is to
- develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport activities
- build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
At Linden Lodge School our diverse pupil population means that pupils need access to Sports and physical activities in highly differentiated ways often through inter-disciplinary approaches including teachers working alongside habilitationists and physiotherapists. We pride ourselves on our outstanding facilities and regard PE and Sports as part of our core curriculum offer.
We have utilised the funding to contribute to five specific areas:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activities
- The profile of PE and Sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- Staff development and training
- Specialist coaching related to our complexity of need
- Extending sporting opportunities through competitive games
The use of the funding in line with DfE Guidelines, and impact of this funding, is monitored through school governance and Southfields Academy trustees.

Department for Education Year 7 Catch-Up Funding for Literacy and Numeracy

The school utilises this funding in two ways:
