Contribution to PE
Dove Bank Primary School has long recognised the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of its children. We also acknowledge that a broad, balanced, high quality curriculum and extra-curricular activities have a positive impact on concentration, attitude and achievement.
Dove Bank Primary School is committed to ensure that all pupils receive a minimum of 2 hours of PE per week, delivered by well-trained and enthusiastic teacher.
Regular staff training opportunities are provided for teachers and TAs to keep them up to date with new initiatives.
The school participates enthusiastically in a range of local sports competitions and events against other schools in North West Leicestershire.
The Government Sports Premium
The Government provides schools with a Sports Grant each year to spend specifically on improving the quality of sport and PE provision for all their children.
