Sports Premium

PE & Sport Premium is funding provided to primary schools to enhance the provision of PE and sport. The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has committed to keeping the Primary PE and Sport Premium until 2020. Funding is calculated at £8000 plus £5.00 per pupil. It is for schools to decide how the PE and Sport funding is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made to enhance the provision for PE in school. Schools are held accountable for how they have used the additional funding. In 2017 the government doubled the sports funding.

Principles for allocating the funding

To ensure that our PE & Sport Premium is spent in the most effective ways the following principles have been agreed:

• Provide high quality PE teaching delivered by a dedicated Sports Coach.
• Extend our range of school sports clubs.
• Develop pupil sport leaders who take an active part in decision making.
• Increase pupils’ participation in the School Games Programme.
• Run sports activities with other schools.
• Undertake monitoring and analysis to identify pupils who do not participate in sporting activities beyond the school day, and provide support and encouragement to enrol them in an activity of their choice.
• Monitoring and evaluation to demonstrate the impact of spending on the outcomes for pupils.
