Commitment to Excellence
We believe sport plays a vital role in personal development, helping pupils build resilience, confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills. Our goal is to inspire every child to enjoy being active and to develop a lifelong love of sport.
Purpose of funding
Schools must spend the sport funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but have the freedom to choose how they do this.
Possible uses for the funding include:
- Hiring specialist PE teachers or qualified sports coaches to work alongside primary teachers when teaching PE
- Paying for professional development opportunities in PE/sport
- Providing cover to release primary teachers for professional development in PE/sport
- Running sport competitions, or increasing participation in the school games
- Buying quality assured professional development modules or materials for PE/sport
- Providing children with access to specialist sport facilities.
