The government gives money to schools (called the PE and Sport Premium) to improve sport and PE, so young people have the opportunity to lead healthy and active lifestyles.  A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation.

​

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of their PE, physical activity and sport.

​

This means that schools should use the premium to:

​

• develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that the school provides

• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

​

Schools should use the premium to secure improvements in the following five key indicators.

​

1. Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity

2. 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

​

Schools must produce a report each year to explain how they have spent the funding.  The reports are below.
