Sports Premium

All children and young people should live healthy active lives. 

Schools have a key role to play in achieving this aim. This is particularly true of primary schools where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity are embedded. 

Schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims. 

Schools should prioritise PE and sport premium spending to improve in the following 5 key areas:

• increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
• increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport
• raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
• offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
• increase participation in competitive sport
