Sport Funding
In 2017 schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE), physical activity and sport that are offered.

Schools can use the premium to secure improvements in the following indicators:
There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:
The Ofsted report ‘Beyond 2012 – Outstanding Physical Education for All’ sets the benchmark to be reached, and this together with the government document ‘Effective Practice in PE and Sport in School’ (June 2013) have been used as guidance for the action plan and funding allocation into the future.
What Do We Hope To Achieve in 2019-2020?
Curriculum Enrichment and Support
To provide bespoke Sport’s Enrichment/Support for small groups throughout the school, offering them sporting opportunities beyond those within the National Curriculum 2014.
To provide funded swimming opportunities to those children in Key Stage 1.
Teaching
Ensure consistency of approach and improve effectiveness in session delivery and the breadth of sports available to individuals.
Refine further our assessment of key skills to ensure targeted support in physical development where appropriate.
Extra-Curricular
To provide a wide range of before school and after school activities to increase participation (specifically for those reluctant participants) and cater for pupils’ interests and needs.
Community Enrichment
Improve links with local clubs as a means for our children to access sport at a competitive level.
Our Action Plan, which is published below, sets out how we intend to use funding to improve sporting provision at ECPS.
