PE and Sport Premium for Primary Schools

​At Elloughton Primary School we believe PE, sport and physical activity play an important role in making our vision statement a reality for every pupil, with the potential to change young people’s lives for the better. Being active can have a hugely positive impact on both our physical and mental health.

What is the PE & Sport Premium?
The PE & Sport Premium provides primary schools with £320 million of government funding. It is designed to help children to get an active start in life. Schools should use it to make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide, such as:

• funding high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities
• providing or improving equal access to sport for boys and girls

Schools should prioritise PE and sport premium spending to improve in the following 5 key areas:

• increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
• increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport
• raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
• offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
• increase participation in competitive sport

For the year 2023 to 2024, the amounts payable will be:

• schools with 16 or fewer eligible pupils will receive £1,000 per pupil
• schools with 17 or more eligible pupils will receive £16,000 and an additional payment of £10 per pupil
