Sports Premium
The Sports Premium was introduced in April 2013 and is a sum of money allocated to schools to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.
The grant will be used on:
- Employing specialist PE coaches to work alongside teachers in lessons to increase their subject knowledge and confidence in PE
- Paying external sports coaches to run competitions, or to increase pupils’ participation in national school games competitions
- Providing extra, additional equipment to ensure that the PE curriculum can be taught effectively
