PE and Sport Premium

Department for Education Vision for the Primary Sport Premium 

All pupils leaving primary school are physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.   

The funding has been provided to ensure impact against the following:  

OBJECTIVE: 

To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools. It is important to emphasise that the focus of spending must lead to long lasting impact against the vision (above) that will live on well beyond the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.   

It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following 5 key indicators: 

1. The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity– kick-starting healthy active lifestyles 

2. The profile of PE and sport being 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 

Under the new Inspection Framework, Ofsted inspectors will assess how effectively leaders use the Primary PE and Sport Premium and measure its impact on outcomes for pupils, and how effectively governors hold them to account for this. Improvements should enhance, rather than maintain existing provision. For example, where schools are using their funding to employ specialist coaches, these should be deployed alongside class teachers rather than displacing them, for their impact to be sustainable and to enable the upskilling of existing teachers. 

Primary Physical Education and Sport Premium planning and actions should show how use of funding contributes to this vision through identified school priorities which can be measured through reference to key outcome indicators. It is important that the main drivers for improvement are those identified by the school through their self-review. Each school should aim to achieve the following objective.   

Primary Physical Education and Sport Premium planning and actions should show how use of funding contributes to this vision.
