Sports Premium
Evidencing the Impact of the Primary Physical Education and Sport Premium at Dorothy Barley Infant School
Sports Premium
At Dorothy Barley Infant School, we understand the importance of children living active and healthy lives. All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities.
Guidance from the DFE states that schools should use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims. It must not be used for core-type school activities. They 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
Key Indicators
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
