Primary school PE and school sport: funding

Background

1. In April 2013, the Government announced new funding of £150 million for physical education (PE) and sport. This funding should be used to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.

2. Funding will be allocated to all maintained and state-funded schools with primary phase pupils,  including: primary, middle, special and non-maintained special schools, academies and pupil referral units from 1 September 2013. 

3. Schools are free to determine how best to use this funding to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision, including increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupil develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of.

Our main actions from this PE Health check audit are:

 

1: To improve PE lessons and teaching within our school.

2: To improve the assessment of pupils in PE in our school.

3: To engage more children in physical activities during lunchtimes.

 

How will we measure the impact of the PE and Sport Premium?

Through the analysis of the spending of our Sport Premium funding, we will analyse the effectiveness of the ways in which we have spent our Sport Premium funding. This will the through:

• The percentages of children in different groups who have taken part in sporting activities both in and out of school.
• The number of clubs provided and how they have been delivered: have they been accessible and accessed by all children?
• The monitoring of PE lessons - what do we need to do next to improve the quality of teaching in PE?
• Pupil voice interviews: what are the children enjoying and what do they want us to do next to engage them further in physical activity?
• working in partnership with the School Sport Partnership, who assist us in the auditing of our Sport Premium spending.
• The assessment tools of the School Sports Award.
