PE and sport premium grant funding
The PE and sport premium grant is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport provision they offer their pupils.
Our PE and sports premium grant funding allocation
Our school receives an annual PE and sports premium grant which is used to directly impact on improving PE and sport provision throughout the school in relation to the following five key indicators.
- providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
- encouraging active play during break times and lunchtimes
- establishing, extending or funding attendance of school sport clubs and activities and holiday clubs, or broadening the variety offered
- adopting an active mile initiative
- raising attainment in primary school swimming to meet requirements of the national curriculum before the end of key stage 2. Every child should leave primary school able to swim
- actively encourage pupils to take on leadership or volunteer roles that support the delivery of sport and physical activity within the school (such as ‘sport leader’ or peer-mentoring schemes)
- embedding physical activity into the school day through encouraging active travel to and from school, active break times and holding active lessons and teaching
- providing staff with professional development, mentoring, appropriate training and resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively to all pupils, and embed physical activity across your school
- hiring qualified sports coaches and PE specialists to work alongside teachers to enhance or extend current opportunities offered to pupils
- introducing a new range of sports and physical activities (such as dance, yoga or fitness sessions) to encourage more pupils to take up sport and physical activities
- partnering with other schools to run sports and physical activities and clubs
- providing more and broadening the variety of extra-curricular activities after school in the 3 to 6pm window, delivered by the school or other local sports organisations
- increasing and actively encouraging pupils’ participation in the School Games
- organising, coordinating or entering more sport competitions or tournaments within the school or across the local area, including those run by sporting organisations
Publishing requirements
In line with the conditions of the PE and sport premium grant funding we receive, we are required to publish specific information on our school website. This includes the total amount of PE and sport premium grant funding received, a detailed breakdown of how the funding has been spent, the impact of the funding on pupils’ participation and attainment in PE and sport, and information explaining how these improvements will be sustained in future years.
In addition, schools are expected to complete and publish their information using the Department for Education’s online reporting form, which has been introduced to standardise reporting and promote greater transparency and accountability.
This report fulfils requirements one to four and should be read alongside the school’s online reporting form submission, together providing the information required under the Department for Education’s reporting framework.
