Sport Premium
School Sport Premium funding was confirmed by the DfE in June 2022.
The premium money must be spent by schools on making additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE, physical activity and sport for the benefit of all pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lives.
Schools are not allowed to spend their premium money on:
- Employing coaches or specialist teachers to cover PPA times.This should come out of the schools’ core funding budgets.
- Teaching the minimum requirements of the national curriculum programmes of study – including those specified for swimming.
- Funding capital expenditure.
Schools must publish on their school website, information about how they have spent their sport premium money by the end of the summer term 2023 or by 31st July at the latest. An updated guidance document produced by AfPE can be found through the following link.
Schools must include the following information on their School Sport Premium report:
- The amount of funding received
- A full breakdown on how it has been spent or well be spent
- The impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment
- How the improvements will be sustainable in the future
- What percentage of pupils within your year 6 cohort for the academic year 22/23 can:
- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
- Use a range of strokes effectively.
- Perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations.
Some schools may be selected by the DfE to determine their compliance with these conditions.
