PE & Sports Premium

STATUTORY INFORMATION

The PE and Sports Premium is paid to schools based on the number of its pupils.

The purpose of the PE and Sports Premium is to improve the quality of PE and sporting activities provided by the school. 

PE and Sports Premium action plan and impact statements

The Government continue to provide funding to schools through the allocation of the Sport Premium. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE), physical activity and sport on offer.

This means that schools should use the premium to:

  • develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport activities that your school already offers
  • build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

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
