Primary PE and Sports Premium

Statement of Intent 

Our PE curriculum teaches children life skills that will positively impact their future.

We aim to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children in physical activities. We want to teach children to work as part of a team and understand the importance cooperation and collaboration. We teach children to make positive choices to support a healthy body and mind.

PE and Sports Premium funding is allocated annually by the Department for Education and must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged children, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

 This funding is allocated to Primary school head teachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision for PE and sport in schools.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport you offer.

This means that you should use the premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE 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.

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• 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.

The documents below detail how we as a school have spent the sports premium allocated to us.
