Primary School Sports Grant Funding 

Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.

Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport they provide. This includes any carried forward funding.

This means that we must use the PE and sport premium to:

• develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that our school provides
• build capacity and capability within our school to ensure that improvements made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years

We should use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements within 5 key indicators and measure the impact as can be seen below.
