Key Information
PE & Sport Premium
How we spend the PE and sport premium, and its impact.
Our funding in 2025–26
This funding is ring-fenced: it can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in school.
What is the PE and Sport Premium?
The PE and sport premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils through sustainable developments.
The government is providing additional funding of £300 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding — provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport — will be allocated to primary school head teachers.
The government suggests schools can use the funding to:
- hire specialist PE teachers
- hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
- provide existing staff with teaching resources to help them teach PE and sport
- support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs
- run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
- run sports activities with other schools
Our five priorities
Sporting opportunities are actively encouraged and developed at The Federation of Boldmere Schools and our children participate in weekly lessons, after school clubs and a range of competitions. Our school PE and sport development priorities are based on our school context and identified pupil need.
- 01
To increase the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity (including disadvantaged pupils).
- 02
To increase the profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
- 03
To increase confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
- 04
To broaden the experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
- 05
To increase participation in competitive sport.
We believe that physical activity not only improves health, reduces stress and improves concentration, but also promotes correct physical growth and development. Exercise has a positive influence on academic achievement, emotional stability, emotional health, mental well being and interaction with others. Through sport and other physical activities our children will learn about their responsibilities both as individuals and members of groups and teams. They learn to cooperate and to compete fairly, understanding their own and other’s roles.
How we do it
By the time children leave school in year 6, our aims are that through physical education we teach and develop physical competence, an appreciation of skilled and creative performances, understanding of basic principles of ‘fair play’ and improve inter personal skills and healthy lifestyles. We achieve this by:
- following a broad and balanced PE curriculum fulfilling the requirements of the National Curriculum
- developing a whole curriculum for supporting children to make informed choices about healthy living and lifestyles
- giving every child the opportunity to swim at least 25m
- developing the fitness of the individual, by ensuring a good pace in lessons and incorporating fitness activities into physical education lessons as appropriate
- integrating, where possible, into other curriculum areas, for example, the use of athletics data in maths & ICT
- developing programmes that meet the needs of all the children, providing equal opportunities, making allowances for children with disabilities and medical conditions, taking into account children with special needs, through modified classroom programmes
- involving the community where possible, for example, Sports Day, clubs, inter-school matches, outside coaching personnel and resources
- providing enjoyable experiences, where positive attitudes of sensitivity, leadership, co-operation, competition and tolerance may develop
