PE Premium Spend

PE Premium

What is the PE & Sport Premium?

The funding is designed to help primary schools make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of physical education and school sport across England. The money is allocated directly to headteachers to ensure that all children have positive experiences of sport and physical activity, leading to a lifetime habit of participation.

How We Spend the Money


We use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all pupils in the school.

We aim to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles and get as many children as possible participating in regular competitive sport.

We have used the five key indicators suggested by the Association for Physical Education as guidance for how the funding is spent.

The Five Key Indicators Are:


  • Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity

  • 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

We Aim to Spend the Funding To:


  • Increase participation in the School Games and Lewisham Sports Co-ordinators competitions and festivals

  • Provide additional extra-curricular sports opportunities at playtimes and lunchtimes

  • Provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more confidently and effectively

  • Hire qualified sports coaches to work alongside a PE specialist to support the development of teaching in specific sporting areas

  • Increase levels of pupil physical activity in and out of school

  • Provide inspiring sport experiences for children to promote sport and exercise participation

  • Improve swimming attainment through top-up swimming lessons

  • Support children with SEN and those less physically active or engaged to access competitions and sporting opportunities

  • Provide access to improved facilities and spaces for PE lessons and training sessions
