P.E. and school sport play a very important part in the life of Upton. We believe that P.E. and school sport contribute to the holistic development of our children and through participation, our children build and learn more about our key values such as respect, responsibility, aspiration & achievement for themselves and others.

We are therefore delighted to be able to use this phase of sports premium funding for the years 2023-2024 which is £19,597 to support the development of PE and school sport in the following ways;

We are delighted to be using our sports premium funding in the following ways:-
