Sports Premium
Schools receive PE and Sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6, funding that must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE), physical activity and sports offered.
We use our Sports funding to:
- Increase opportunities for physical education throughout the school day
- Increase the profile of fitness and sports both within school and from outside, encourage children to want to be more active.
- PE lessons throughout the school are high quality, follow our vision of increased Physical Activity for all and teacher confidence in delivery is high.
- Broaden children’s knowledge and experiences of different sports.
- Increase opportunities to take part in competitive sports: within school and local competitions
Schools can use the premium to secure improvements in the following indicators:
- the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
- the profile of PE and sport is 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
