PE-and-Sport-Premium-Impact 2024-Final
Schools must use the Sports Premium Funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer.
This means that the premium should be used to:
• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that school already offers
• make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
Funding can be used to:
• hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
• provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
• introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
• support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs and holiday clubs
• run sport competitions
• run sports activities with other schools
The government’s vision is that all pupils leaving primary school are physically literate with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools indicators of such improvement would include:
• The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
• The profile of PE and sport being 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
