PE and Sport Premium

What is PE and Sports Premium?
The government is providing funding of £150 million per annum to provide Primary Schools with Sports Funding. The money will go directly to primary schools to improve sports and PE. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school headteachers.
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding include:

• Matrix of seasonal sporting act
• Implementing Change4Life clubs within the school
• Providing new sports clubs which offer new challenges for all children
• Providing CPD opportunities for all members of staff in school
• Increasing participation in school games
• Providing resources for PE and Sport
• To involve all children in PE and Sports through inclusion support
• Introduction of intervention groups for PE to support children working at different levels within the curriculum

At the end of the 2025-26 academic year, the impact will be measured through:

• Specialists sports coaches and class teachers will have worked with a wide range of pupils and assessment data will demonstrate effect with enhanced levels of progress. Some assessment data is provided by the coaches to further enhance tracking and progress.
• Matrix of seasonal sporting activities drawn up with all staff offering at least one sporting-based activity throughout the year. Registers of such clubs are to be kept and monitored. Extra-curricular matrix was drawn up and maintained throughout the year enabling all-year-round access to activities.
• Staff to attend localised (and national) inset courses to enhance their professional development as and when they arise and if channelled towards enhancements and enrichment of the school‘s provision coupled with staff PFM.
