The Government initiative of funding sporting activities in Primary schools came into affect 2014/2015 academic year.
At Meadow Green we recognise the contribution that PE and sport makes to the health and well-being of children. We believe that a broad and balanced PE curriculum with a range of extra-curricular activities and access to competitive sport can have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and achievement of all our children.
Last year Meadow Green Primary School was given £18,370 funding to enhance the provision of PE and School sport for all of our children.
Below is a summary of provision put in place and its impact.

Swimming Information
In July 2025, 88% of year 6 children were able to swim completely confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25m. 88% could use a range of strokes effectively and 88% could perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations.
Pupils who have not achieved the proficiency standards at the end of Year 3 have received and additional block of intensive swimming during year 4 in order to reach this standard before leaving in Year 6.
At Meadow Green Primary School, we actively promote school sport by helping every child develop their sporting skills and talents both inside and outside of school. Children are encouraged to undertake a range of sports and activities as a part of a healthy lifestyle and this is strongly supported by our parents.
We involve children in inter-house competitions (Level 1) and look for opportunities to enable as many children as possible to represent their school in inter-school (Level 2) championships and competitions. We have cross border associations with Birmingham Primary sports partnership, as well as within our immediate district. Due to exposure at these range of inter-school events many pupils have been signposted to sports clubs to continue their development.
Many of our children have represented Bromsgrove and Redditch in inter-area competitions and in the Worcester County Games (Level 3)
