PE and Sport Premium

What is Sports Premium?

Sports Premium is funding allocated to schools from the Government. The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles. Allocations for the academic year are calculated using the number of pupils in years 1 to 6, as recorded in the January census of the previous year:

Sports Premium Information

How can schools use the funding?

The premium must be spent by schools on making additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles

How will schools be held to account for the funding?

Since September 2013, Ofsted inspections report on PE and sport provision and on how schools spend their additional funding. Schools are accountable and have been required to publish, since April 2014, on their websites, details of how they spend (or will spend) their PE and sport grant. They must also include detail about the impact this funding has on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment

This year we will use the funding to:

Buy into sports coaching which will:

• involve the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
• raise the profile of PE and sport across the school
• increase confidence, knowledge and skills of staff in teaching PE and Sport
• provide a broader experience of a range of sports and activities to all pupils
• increase lunchtime club provision

The funding will provide a coach for a weekly lunchtime clubs each week.  We will continue to follow the advice of Government re COVID-19 and the impact this has on sport. Some of these activities will resume when COVID restrictions have been lifted. 

Our Objective:

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

We would expect indicators of such improvement to include:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
• 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.

Impact Statement July 2025 for the Sports Premium: 

• Top-up" Swimming Lessons Increased Attainment: Targeted, intensive lessons for pupils (often in Year 6) who have not met the National Curriculum requirements (swimming 25m, using a range of strokes, and performing safe self-rescue). This directly improves the percentage of pupils leaving primary school as competent swimmers. 
   
• Improved Life Skills: Ensures more pupils leave school with essential water safety skills, fostering a lifelong relationship with aquatic activity and reducing risk.
• Coaching as CPD/Team-Teaching Increased Staff Confidence & Skills: 

  Coaches work alongside classroom teachers (Rec-Y6) to model high-quality PE lessons and introduce new sports (e.g., gymnastics, dance, specific team sports). This is the key sustainable use. 

  Improved Teacher Pedagogy: Teachers gain the confidence, knowledge, and skills to deliver a broader and higher quality PE curriculum independently in the future, thus upskilling the permanent school workforce. 

  Coach for Lunchtime/Playtime Increased Physical Activity: A coach leads structured, engaging activities during breaks, directly contributing to the recommended 30 active minutes pupils should achieve in school. 

   

  Improved Behaviour and Social Skills: Structured activities often lead to better behaviour, reduced conflicts, and development of social and leadership skills, creating a positive culture that may be sustained by trained school staff (e.g., playtime leaders) after the coach's contract ends

  Purchase of PE / Playtime EquipmentBroader Curriculum & Play: Buying high-quality, inclusive, and varied equipment (e.g., sports-specific kit, gymnastic apparatus, playground markings, outdoor activity zones like a trim trail or traversing wall).

   

  Enhanced Resources: A better range of equipment allows for the teaching of a wider variety of sports and activities, enriching the curriculum and continuing to benefit future cohorts.

  Lunchtime Provision Engaged, Active Breaks: Buying equipment and/or training midday supervisors to run structured, engaging play activities, especially for targeted, less active pupils.

   

  Culture Change: Embeds a culture of active play and positive use of the playground, which can be sustained through training and a rota of activities without needing significant ongoing funding.

Boys swimming – End of academic year 2025/2026

9 boys out of the cohort of 13 can swim at least 25 metres, being able to use a range of different strokes and performing safe self-rescue in different water-based situations. The 9 boys can also swim on their back and are developing into confident swimmers. Some children are still using a swimming aid.
