PE & Sport Premium

What is PE and Sport Premium?

In 2013, the government pledged to provide additional funding to primary schools to improve PE and sport provisions. The funding is provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, and Media and Sport.

What is PE and Sport Premium for?

The funding is provided directly to primary schools and must only be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE, for all school children.

How much funding do Primary Schools receive?

For the 2024/25 academic year, All Saints received £18,130.00. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provisions in schools.

How are we obliged to spend the funding?

We are required to use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer. The government lists five key indicators for which schools should expect to see an improvement.

These are:

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity, which amounts to at least 30 minutes per day whilst in school, as recommended by the Chief Medical Officer;
• 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.

Ofsted assesses how primary schools use the primary PE and sport premium. They measure its impact on pupil outcomes, and how effectively governors hold school leaders to account for this.

To guide us in our use of the funding, the government suggests ways in which we can effectively use the money.  These include PE and sport focused staff training and  development; hiring qualified sports coaches; offering activities/school clubs targeted at less active children; entering more tournaments and competitions; and embedding physical  activity into our school day as much as possible. 

PE at All Saints

At All Saints we value the benefits of PE and sport, and encourage our children to have healthy, active lifestyles. In our experience, an innovative, varied PE curriculum, and extra-curricular opportunities, have a positive influence on the concentration, attitude, and academic achievement of all our children.

Our school currently delivers Physical Education through the Get Set 4 PE scheme, which provides a broad and balanced range of sports and physical activities across the curriculum. This comprehensive programme supports every child in developing strong physical literacy, alongside the emotional resilience and creative thinking skills needed to succeed not only in PE and sport, but across all areas of learning.

All classes receive 2 hours of PE each week. Physical Education is a vital part of our children’s education and we pride ourselves in the way we help to develop their knowledge of a healthy lifestyle and their formation of positive attitudes.

What improvements has the Sports Premium Funding allowed us to make?

Since 2016 we have:

• Purchased a large amount of brand new, high quality equipment. This has led to us being able to offer different sports and activities during the school day and through various sports clubs.
• Taken a large number of children to outside competitions. By entering competition programmes we have managed to enter over 15 competitions each year. 
• Worked with our local secondary school to deliver a shared leadership programme. This has allowed both schools to develop young leaders at various age groups.
• Provided the children with high quality specialised sports coaching and inspirational individuals.
• Given pupils with a passion for PE and sport a chance to lead and inspire others. This has included helping to deliver PE lessons in school and lead various school teams at outside competitions.
• Increased activity levels in school by introducing a Daily Mile and lunchtimes sports clubs.
• Provided all children with a chance to attend before and after school active clubs by making the clubs free of charge.
