PE & Sports Funding

The PE and Sports Grant funding is provided from central government, through local government, direct to schools. It is in addition to the school’s delegated budget and is targeted to support enhancements in physical education, sports, club opportunities and healthy lifestyles.

Schools have had the freedom to spend the PE and Sports grant, which is additional to the underlying schools budget, in a way that they think will best support achieving the objectives and the national criteria.

The criteria are:

• 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

and will be expected to deliver impact against the following 5 key 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

Overall Financing Purposes

The school sought to spend the money directly on key initiatives that would have a specific impact on the achievement of the PE, sport and healthy lifestyle objectives.

This means that we will use the PE and sport premium to:

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

We will use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements in the following 4 key indicators. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, by:

• 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
• 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

Monitoring

During the year the school’s PE & Sport Subject Leader monitors the impact of each of the strands to ensure their effectiveness.

Examples of this monitoring include reporting to the Sports and Wellbeing Curriculum team, updates from the staff, feedback from the school council and Sport’s Crew. The PE and Sports Subject Leader will report to SLT and the Governors annually and deliver termly updates at staff meetings.
