younger children (supporting lessons in foundation stage). 

• A sports captains and sports ambassadors organise sporting

competitions and running sporting Inter-House activities.

• Our school is part of the Bassetlaw Schools Sports Association. Meetings are held yearly to share good practice. Through this we have enabled the opportunity for children to compete in a range of school games competitions and  tournaments, including the school games events.

• Achievements in sport are recognised in weekly newsletters and assemblies. 

The Sport Premium

Through the 'Sport Premium' the Government is providing funding to support the delivery of PE and sport in primary schools.

This funding will be ring fenced and is allocated directly to primary schools across England, providing them with dedicated resource to buy in invaluable expertise and support. Sparken Hill have developed an action plan to help use this money to develop PE and School Sport for our Pupils.
