PE & Sports Premium
What is the PE and Sport Premium?
The PE and Sport Premium is part of a series of programmes led by the Department of Education to improve healthy lifestyles among pupils and tackle childhood obesity.
This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - is allocated to primary school headteachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.

Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
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.
We would expect indicators of such improvement to 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
