Primary School Premium Update

Primary School Premium updated with information and resources released today for local schools:

Amended vision and objectives

VISION: All pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.

OBJECTIVE: To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools.

We would expect indicators of such improvement to include:

·         the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles

·         the profile of PE and sport being 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 sports and activities offered to all pupils

·         increased participation in competitive sport
