Since the 2012 Olympics, primary schools have received additional funding from the Government to improve PE and Sport in school. The funding is provided to achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools. The focus of spending must lead to long lasting impact against the vision outlined above that will live on well beyond the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.

Physical activity is central to school life at Clifton Green. Our vision is that all pupils leave primary school with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to create physically and mentally healthy lifestyles that last a lifetime. All our PE and sport is based around the following five indicators:

• The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
• The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
• Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
• Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
• Increased participation in competitive sport.

The curriculum at Clifton Green includes outdoor games, indoor activities and educating children about health and fitness. Teams participate regularly in local school sports leagues and tournaments and have links with outside clubs and organisations including York City Football Club, York City Knights and York Sports Club.
