PE and Sport Premium

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.

This means that the Sport Premium should be used to:

• develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport activities that is already offered.
• build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.

Schools can use the premium to secure improvements in the following indicators:

• 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.

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

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
• 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 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.
