PE & Sports Premium
In March 2013, the government announced that it was to provide additional funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England – The Primary PE and Sport Premium.
This funding is allocated to primary school headteachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
- In the Autumn Statement 2013, the then Chancellor, George Osbourne announced an additional year’s £150m extended funding, taking the total investment to the end of the 2016 academic year.
- On 6th February 2014 the then Prime Minister, David Cameron committed to continue the funding for the Primary PE and Sport Premium until 2020.
- On 24th October 2017, the Department for Education published new guidance on the doubled Primary PE and Sport Premium grant.
- ​Schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils receive £1,000 per pupil.
- Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil.
Below is details of how we spent out our Sports Premium and it’s impact over the year of 2023-2024.
For 2024-2025, the DfE, launched a new way to record how PE premium money is spent. The completed documents are detailed below.
Swimming​ Data
Swimming is part of the national curriculum and currently our Year 5 class have weekly lessons. This will change to Year 4 within this academic year. We then use the summer term to support children who have not achieved their 25m front and back stroke further, with extra lessons. By the end of 2024-2025, 80% of our Year 6 children had secured their 25m on their front and back with 100% of children achieving water safety.
