The Government invest £320m per year directly into primary schools with the objective of achieving self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport.
There is a long term vision that all pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in movement, physical activity and sport.
Key performance indicators for schools are:
- the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged five to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
- 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 movement, physical activity and sport offered to all pupils
- increased participation in competitive sport
We worked with our national partners afPE and the Youth Sport Trust to create a PE and Sport Premium Top Tips document.
Three posters have been produced to capture the latest national advice and guidance. The posters can be downloaded below:

The Association for Physical Education and the Youth Sport Trust have updated the national template to aid Head teachers, Governors and teachers to support the online reporting. You can find tools to help you measure and report on the impact of your spend by clicking here.
