Primary PE & Sport Premium

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

Objective: To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools.

Schools should use the premium to secure improvements in the following indicators:

Make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport you offer:

• Develop or add to the PE, physical activity 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 year

Examples include -

-Staff training

-Hire specialist physical education teachers or coaches to work alongside teachers

-Offer more intra and inter-school competitive opportunities

-New after school clubs in different and exciting sports i.e. fencing, archery, handball, yoga

-Support and involve the least active children by running specific school sports clubs in activities that they are more likely to enjoy/engage in i.e. individual, non-competitive, fitness style sessions

-Establish links with local sports clubs to support curriculum and/or extra-curricular club delivery

-Develop health-enhancing activities/interventions

-Introduce new opportunities for students with disabilities or SEND

-Purchase new equipment or resources

-Transport children to competitions/events

-Provide additional or enhanced swimming activities (see Swim England's mythbuster document, or further guidance in the downloads section)

• Employ coaches or specialist teachers to cover planning preparation and assessment (PPA) arrangements - these should come out of your core staffing budgets
• Teach the minimum requirements of the national curriculum - including those specified for swimming (or, in the case of academies and free schools, to teach your existing PE curriculum)
• Fund capital expenditure

Active miles

Where schools choose to take part in an active mile, you should use your existing playgrounds, fields, halls and sports facilities to incorporate an active mile into the school day and develop a lifelong habit of daily physical activity.

1. Do you have confident and capable class teachers who lead you in your PE and sport in school?
2. Do the adults in school help you keep active for at least 30 minutes per day, every day?
3. Do you take part in competitive sport more than you did before?
4. Do the adults in school provide a wider range of ways for you to be physically active including opportunities to try different sports?

A ‘Yes’ to these four questions from every primary age child would mean that schools had invested wisely and in the best interests of our children. It is not too late to invest in a healthy future for them and the continuous school improvement this brings with it.
