PE and Sports Funding 2019-2020

At Harrowbarrow School we continue to use the Primary school sports premium money to ensure all the children experience high quality and a variety of different sports. Physical Education can be used across the curriculum to enhance all learning experiences in all areas of learning. It is important not only for the children’s physical health but also their mental health.

Key Indicators 2019-2020

• the engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – the Chief Medical Officer guidelines recommend that all children and young people aged 5 to 18 engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day, of which 30 minutes should be in school
• the profile of PE and sport is 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

PE and Sports Funding 2018 – 2019

The Primary school sports premium money is used to support and improve the quality of PE, school sports and active learning within primary schools.

Key Indicators – The department of education offers the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE), physical activity and sport you offer within your school environment.
