Sport Premium and PE Grant Impact Report
Schools must spend the PE and Sport premium on projects that will make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport activities they offer.
This means that schools should use the grant to:
Develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sports activities that the 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.
Schools should use the premium to secure improvements in the following five key areas:
Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
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
Pupil Premium Strategy Statement
The Pupil Premium Strategy Statement is available above using the Department for Education’s standardised reporting format.
Publicly-funded schools in England get extra funding from the government to help them improve the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils.
Evidence shows that children from disadvantaged backgrounds:
generally face extra challenges in reaching their potential at school
often do not perform as well as their peers
The pupil premium grant is designed to allow schools to help disadvantaged pupils by improving their progress and the exam results they achieve.
Use of the pupil premium
It’s up to school leaders to decide how to spend the pupil premium. This is because school leaders are best-placed to assess their pupils’ needs and use funding to improve attainment.
Tiered approach
Evidence suggests that pupil premium spending is most effective when schools use a tiered approach, targeting spending across the following 3 areas below but focusing on teaching quality - investing in learning and development for teachers.
Teaching
Schools arrange training and professional development for all the their staff to improve the impact of teaching and learning for pupils.
Academic support
Schools should decide on the main issues stopping their pupils from succeeding at school and use the pupil premium to buy extra help.
Wider approaches
This may include non-academic use of the pupil premium such as:
school breakfast clubs
music lessons for disadvantaged pupils
help with the cost of educational trips or visits
speech and language therapy
Schools may find using the pupil premium in this way helps to:
increase pupils’ confidence and resilience
encourage pupils to be more aspirational
benefit non-eligible pupils
