Sport Premium Funding - What is it?

Schools receive PE and Sport Premium Funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport.

This means that we should use the premium to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
• develop sports participation and attainment

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity - the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
• the profile of PE and sport is 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

The effect of the Sports Premium on pupil’s PE and sports participation and attainment at Barming Pre-School and Primary School

Every year, our main aim is to use our Sports Premium funding to improve participation and attainment in physical activity and physical education. This year, we will replenish any old equipment whilst also making changes to out outdoor areas, allowing them to be used throughout the year. By doing this, we should see an increase in participation in PE lessons, as well as greater uptake in the after school clubs offered.
