Sport is a very high priority at Southover. We are involved in nearly every event possible and value participation highly. We have over 70 children taking part in our football clubs this term! Our gym, as well as hall, allow PE lessons to be delivered every week come rain or snow. We use our Sports Premium to increase participation and to create a life-long interest in being active.

We ensure that girls play sport at Southover!
Our PE and Sports Premium has been used to support our excellent provision. We are very proud of the of the breadth and depth of sport we offer at Southover. We have a fantastic number of clubs and we have used the PE and Sports Premium to support this.
The highlights include:
Funding to allow lots of children to be engaged in competitive sport, local, Sussex-wide and national! Our athletes won the Lewes District Sports and our girls football team made it to the National Premier League Football Finals!
We have funded the swimming pool teacher so we can provide swimming to all children and three lessons a week in the summer to our youngest pupils in our own pool!
We have supported the Y6 residential trip with lots of climbing and sporting opportunities.
We have also supported clubs so that disadvantaged children can access at a minimal cost and have lunch clubs running for those who can’t always make out of hours clubs.
The field now sports a fantastic play trail which we combined Sports Premiums with our neighbouring school to be able to install. As one child said, “The queue to use it is like getting a Glastonbury ticket!”
