PE & Sports Funding
The government provided additional funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools and have since extended this provision, pledging to provide the funding up to 2023. This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is being allocated to primary school headteachers. This funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
Purpose of funding
About the PE and Sport Premium
Schools have a central role to play in supporting all children and young people to live healthy active lives. This is particularly true of primary school where the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity should be established.
Crucial to achieving this is ensuring that pupils have access to at least 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, alongside high-quality PE provision taught by confident and knowledgeable teachers and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. PE and sport premium grant funding should be used by schools towards these aims.
How to use the PE and Sport Premium
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, sport and physical activity they provide.
This means that you must use the PE and sport premium to:
- build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
- develop or add to the PE sport and physical activity that your school provides
Sustainable improvement
Making sustainable improvements should be considered as a priority. This is often achieved through developing and investing in the knowledge and skills of the teaching staff and other school staff who may have involvement in supporting a lasting change to the school’s approach to physical activity, curriculum PE or provision of school sport.
School Vision for PE and Sport
At Holy Redeemer we strive for every child to be ‘great people, who make a difference in the world’, and this is no different in sport and PE. Our Sports Council have talked to the children in their classes and to staff in school and have written the following vision statement:
“All of us on the Sports Council love PE and sport. We want all the children in our school to enjoy it as much as we do. We want everyone to be fit and healthy and get to play lots of different sports. We want lots of opportunities for our best players to play matches and try to win competitions and lots of chances for everyone to get involved in lots of different sports and find something they love. We are very proud of the achievements of our school in sports and PE. Everyone gets involved and tries their best.’
Accountability
From September 2013, schools are being held to account over how they spend their additional, ring-fenced funding. Ofsted will strengthen the coverage of PE and sport within the ‘Inspectors’ handbook’ and supporting guidance so that both schools and inspectors know how sport and PE will be assessed in future as part of the school’s overall provision. One year on, Ofsted will carry out a survey reporting on the first year’s expenditure of additional funding and its impact. Schools are required to include details of their provision of PE and sport on their website, alongside details of their broader curriculum, so that parents can compare sports provision between schools, both within and beyond the school day.

Increased/Sustained Participation and Success in Sports
To see how PE/Sports participation and success has increased and been sustained since the Sports Premium funding came in, follow the link below:
We have ensured that these improvements are sustainable by investing a proportion of the money in staff training and equipment. We also sign post children to outside provision so as to channel their enthusiasm and school level success. By developing a Sports Council, we have also secured sustainable improvements as they have a remit to monitor and develop the sport and PE in school.
We are also looking at improving children’s overall fitness and last year introduced an additional five minutes of exercise at the end of every playtime, led by a member of staff and the Sports Council, which we have maintained.
We have also developed Young Leader roles whereby Year 6 children take it in turns to go swimming with the Year 2 children and support them in their lessons, and our Sports Council this year planned and ran a whole school curling event.
