Sports Premium
PE Funding and Impact 2021-22
In March 2013 the government announced that it was to provide funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education and sport in primary schools in England – The Primary PE and Sport Premium.
This funding is allocated to primary school headteachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
In 2021 the Department for Education confirmed that the funding would continue, at £320 million.
The premium must be used to fund improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of primary-aged pupils in the academic year to give them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle.
We have had the freedom to choose how to spend this additional funding on improving the provision of PE and sport at our school. Great Milton C of E Primary School understands the importance of physical activity and has put several measures in place over the last four years to provide good quality PE teaching, resourcing the subject and also promoting outdoor education in our grounds and wider community.

Coaching Has the grant been spent on external coaches?
When are the coaches being deployed e.g. within the curriculum, during breaks and lunch times, or after school?
What is the quality of the coaching provided e.g. satisfactory, good, outstanding?
|
We use funding to ensure high quality sports coaching for children and CPD for adults in school. They introduce new sports and encourage more children to participate in sporting events. We also use the funding for a tennis coach to deliver small group sessions for all pupils throughout the year. This provides all pupils with the opportunity to develop tennis skills.
They deliver expertise for the PE curriculum, train play leaders at break and lunchtimes and offer an after school multi-sport club. They liaise with PE lead to participate in local and county events and organise regular matches against other local schools.
The quality of the coaching is good and lesson plans are regularly shared and teaching monitored.
