PE and sport premium for primary schools
The government is providing additional funding of £450 million per annum for
academic years 2013 to 2014, 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016 to improve
provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding
provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media
and Sport - will be allocated to primary school head teachers.
The dedicated primary PE and Sport Premium, which was announced in March
2013 and began the following September, goes directly to primary school head
teachers so that they can decide how best to use it to provide sporting
activities for pupils. A typical primary school with 250 primary aged pupils this
year received £9,250, the equivalent of around 2 days a week of a primary
teacher or a coach’s time – enough to make sure every pupil in the school can do
sport with a specialist
Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and
sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Schools can choose how they use the funding, for example to:





hire specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work with
primary teachers during PE lessons
support and involve the least active children by running after-school
sports clubs and holiday clubs, e.g. the Change4Life clubs
provide resources and training courses in PE and sport for teachers
run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School
Games
run sports activities with other schools
At King Charles Primary School the PE Sport Funding has been used to
improve provision of PE and sport in the following ways, to build up the ‘Silver
School Sports Kite Mark which recognises the commitment to PE and Sport
that we have at Bentley West. We have used £9,250 to employ an external
specialist coach.

Healthy Lifestyles
Set up P.E assessment – each child can be tracked from
KS1 to KS2
External specialist Coach developing the teaching and
learning by in house CPD- (team teaching, planning
meetings, lesson drop ins) Good quality P.E lessons are
being seen more often.
Shake up of the skills being taught in KS1/EYFSintroducing ball skills, target skills and Ball games to
ensure the essential skills are taught.
KS2 revised curriculum to make sure skills are embed
from year 3 to year 6.
Regular P.E team meetings to discuss next steps in P.E to
ensure it is continually being developed and adapted.
Action plan is displayed on P.E communication board for
all to see.
Extra-curricular clubs are oversubscribed and happen
every day.
We compete in every competition that is physically
possible and base our clubs around this to ensure
children have a purpose to a club.
Extracurricular/ competitive success is celebrated once
a week in a whole school assembly.
Playground leaders (P.E ambassadors) have been
trained to role model what we expect to see in terms of
being active at all opportunities. They know how to
deliver competitive games and can set clubs for younger
children that run every dinner time.
Whole School Impact
Every child in P.E is now levelled and we can
now assess progress in each year group in P.E.
At the end of each academic year we can
analysis % of children on track in P.E. This
information will be fed back to governors.
From September to now all members of staff
are delivering 2 hours of P.E. Teachers now
feel more confident in planning and delivering
P.E across the school. Teachers actively seek
advice from the Specialist coach who in turn
helps to deliver good quality P.E lessons. The
latest questionnaire shows that teachers feel
more confident with most areas – now we are
working to ensure they feel confident with all
areas of their curriculum.
Broader curriculum for P.E therefore children
are now coming into KS2 with better basic
skills.
Planning for P.E is now of a better quality as
teachers work with the specialist coach to
ensure all skills are being taught.
In meeting points from the action plan are
feedback when appropriate therefore staff
are aware of how we are developing P.E in
our school.
Head teacher will expect data regarding P.E
for the first time this year.
Children are aware of new clubs- club
timetables are now displayed on the school
website. We have a P.E page on our
itslearning page for children to be updated on
how successful we are in different
competitions. There are links to our football
league too. Children have the opportunity to
blog about P.E on our forum. Children are
having a say in what clubs they would like to
see afterschool too.
Playground behaviour has certainly improved
for those children we have targeted. Fewer
incidences occur as children are actively
engaging in different competitive games.
