Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. For the financial year 2019-20 we received £18070.

This funding must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer.

We use the premium to:

• develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer;
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

There are 5 key indicators that we 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.

As part of the funding criteria we are required to publish details of how we plan to spend the monies and a review of the impact on pupil outcomes. Due to the Covid-19 impact our report for 2019-20 (and the plan for 2020-21) has been delayed but will be published here shortly.
