Curriculum focus of Sports Funding spending

At Easterside Academy we aim to develop children’s ability to excel in a broad range of physical activities.

We aim for all pupils from an early age to participate and enjoy physical education as well as understanding the benefits that being active can have on their physical and mental health in order for them to lead healthy, active lifestyles now and in the future. We provide opportunities for children to be active outside of curriculum PE lessons through a range of active lessons, outdoor learning opportunities, after school clubs and active play times.
