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
