PE & Sport Premium
All children and young people should live healthy active lives. The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that all children and young people should take part in moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity for at least 60 minutes every day.
Since 2013, the government has provided ring-fenced funding to schools to improve provision of Physical Education (PE) and sport activities. Schools with 17 or more eligible pupils receive £16,000 plus an additional payment of £10 per pupil. At St. Peter's in 2025/26, this equates to £16,900.
Important update: The DfE is launching a new PE and school sport partnerships network, which will replace the PE and sport premium from Spring 2027. During the transition year, primary schools will receive a one-off PE premium payment.
Schools are expected to prioritise PE and Sport premium spending in the following 5 key areas:
- Increasing all staff's confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport
- Increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport
- Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole-school improvement
- Offering a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils
- Increasing participation in competitive sport
At St. Peter's, our wide range of extra-curricular activities and strong sporting tradition attract families to our vibrant village school. We continually seek to widen participation and opportunities, including clubs and competitions, for all our children. We are extremely proud that in July 2023, the school was officially awarded the Platinum School Games Mark for the second time in recognition of our commitment to the development of sport and competition across the school.
Please see our statutory PE and Sport Premium report below for details of how PE and Sport Premium funding has been used and its impact at St. Peter’s.
