PE and Sport Premium
The Sports Premium is additional funding to improve the quality of sport and PE and sport, so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performances they are capable of. It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles.
- 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.
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but have the freedom to choose how they do this. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Funding is calculated by the number of primary aged pupils (ie between 5 and 11) as at the annual schools census in January.
