The DfE Vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium
ALL pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
At Robert Peel we recognise the contribution of PE to the health and well-being of the children. We believe that an innovative, varied PE curriculum and extra-curricular opportunities have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude and academic achievement all our children.
Primary School Sports Funding is enabling us to continue and extend our provision by being part of the East Beds Sports Partnership, entering into more competitive sports competitions, enhance sporting and health resources, improving physical activity at lunchtime and training our staff to deliver high quality PE and Games sessions.
What is the Sports Premium?
The Government is providing £320 million of ‘Sport Premium’ funding per annum (academic year) to primary schools to support the delivery of PE & School Sport. This funding will be ring fenced and Ofsted reports on the expenditure and its impact.
All schools with 17 or more primary-aged pupils (5-11yrs) will receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil, per annum. The Government are not dictating how schools should spend this money, but are clear that schools will need to employ the strategies that they know will support these pupils to increase their active participation in sports.
Schools should use the PE and Sport Premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators:
Examples of how these may be achieved include:
