PE and Sports Premium Funding at High Wycombe C of E School

At High Wycombe C of E, we recognise the vital role that Physical Education (PE) plays in the health, well-being, and overall development of our children. We believe that a high-quality, varied PE curriculum – along with rich extra-curricular opportunities – has a positive impact on pupils’ concentration, attitude, and academic achievement.
