Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6.

This funding must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer. 

We use the Premium to:

• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer.
• 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 we should expect to see improvement across:

1. 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;
2. The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement;
3. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport;
4. Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils;
5. Increased participation in competitive sport.

 As part of the funding criteria we are required to publish details of how we plan to spend the monies and a review of the impact on pupil outcomes.
