PE and Sports Funding
St Matthew’s recognises the importance of sport to the health and well-being of pupils. Although very successful in sporting competitions (see our Sports page), we are also keen to see all pupils develop a love for sporting activities so that they will continue to lead an active life as they grow into adulthood.
Primary schools receive the PE and Sports funding based on the number of pupils in Years 1 to 6.
The PE and Sport Premium funding should be used be used to support children to meet 60 mins of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity each day. Schools should aim to provide high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week, complemented by a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities. By providing this it can help improve children’s health and wellbeing, personal development as well as academic attainment.
Schools should use it to:
- make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide
- provide or improve equal access to sport for boys and girls
- ensure teachers have the relevant skills and knowledge to confidently teach PE in a structured way, prioritising continued professional development (CPD) and training where needed
