What the PE and Sport Premium is for

You should use the PE and sport premium funding to:

• support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives
• make participation in PE and school sport easier
• make sure all children can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity and sport, no matter their background or ability
• improve children’s health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment
• embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity.

The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend:

• children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day
• disabled children and young people should take part in 20 minutes of physical activity per day

You should aim to provide:

• high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week
• a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities

You must not use this funding for activities within the core curriculum.
