Sports Premium
About the PE and sport premium
All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement.
The School Sport and Activity Action Plan set out government’s commitment to ensuring that children and young people have access to at least 60 minutes of sport and physical activity per day, with a recommendation of 30 minutes of this delivered during the school day (in line with the Chief Medical Officers guidelines which recommend an average of at least 60 minutes per day across the week).
How we use the PE and sport premium
At Hasland Junior School, we receive £19,870 per year and plan to use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the physical education (PE), physical activity and school sport that we provide.
At Hasland Junior School, we use the PE and sport premium to secure improvements in the following 5 key indicators.
1. Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
