Sports Premium

At Rainford CE, we pride ourselves on the high quality of Physical Education within school and our commitment to ensuring that children are given many opportunities to participate in competitive sporting experiences. We endeavor to use our substantial Primary PE and Sports Premium Funding effectively to achieve sustainable improvements for the future of our pupils.

After school sports clubs and/or lunchtime sports on the playground are available daily: last academic year, over 60 children attended at least one extra-curricular after-school sports club.

Children are given lots of opportunities to participate in school competitions regularly hosted by ourselves and other schools in St Helens and across our trust. Sporting success stories are regularly shared on our social media (Facebook and Instagram), newsletters and during our weekly celebration assemblies.

We encourage our pupils to join local sports teams, and we have built up successful links with local amateur clubs – we endeavor to instill a lifelong love of sport and physical activity and for children to realise the importance of physical activity for them to be healthy.
