Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. This applies to both mainstream and non-mainstream settings. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer.

This means that the premium should be used to:

• Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that our 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

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
