P.E and Sports Premium

Higher Bebington Junior School
P.E and Sports Premium

The PE and Sports Premium is funded by the Department for Education, with the purpose of enabling schools to have funding. This can be spent on the PE and sports department of any eligible school to increase physical education, active lifestyles, and sports for all primary school pupils. In July 2022, it was confirmed that the funding would continue for the academic year 2022-2023.

The premium aims to enable schools to build the foundations of a sustainable sports strategy. This is to try to ensure a lasting improvement on physical activity in schools in the future. Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of their physical education (PE), physical activity, and sport.

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

• The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school

• The 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
