What is the Sports Premium?

The government has committed to providing funding of £150 million per annum until 2020 to provide new and substantial primary school sport funding. The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children. Each school will receive £8,000 plus an extra £5 per pupil each year for the next two years - here at Our Lady of Hartley that will mean around £9000 a year. The money can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools. Sports funding became effective in 2013.

Purpose of the funding

Schools have to spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport and are allowed to allocate funds to suit their children and school.

Possible uses of the funding include:

Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport

Our Lady of Hartley PE and Sport Premium Strategy

Date: July 2017

Purpose of the premium

The premium must be used to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, for the benefit of primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

The Secretary of State does not consider the following expenditure as falling within the scope of additional or sustainable improvement:

employing coaches or specialist teachers to cover planning preparation and assessment (PPA) arrangements - these should come out of schools’ core staffing budgets
teaching the minimum requirements of the existing PE curriculum.

Overview of Our Lady of Hartley’s strategies for improving pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment and giving pupils the opportunity to develop a healthy, active lifestyle
