PE and Sports Premium Funding 2025 – 2026
The PE and Sports Premium is a government initiative that provides additional funding to primary schools in England to improve the quality and breadth of physical education (PE), sport and physical activity opportunities for all pupils. This funding is designed to help schools enhance existing PE provision, increase participation in regular physical activity, and promote healthy lifestyles. At Rhodes Avenue we use the premium to develop or add to the PE and sport activities we already offer and build capacity and capability within the school to ensure improvements are sustainable. This might include employing specialist sports coaches, investing in new equipment, offering a wider range of after-school clubs, or upskilling staff to deliver high-quality PE lessons.
How our school uses the PE and Sports Premium:
Each year, at Rhodes Avenue, we review our provision and decide how best to use the funding to benefit all pupils. Examples include:
- Employing specialist PE coaches to work alongside teachers and improve the quality of lessons.
- Purchasing new sports and play equipment to broaden the range of activities available.
- Offering additional after-school and lunchtime clubs to increase participation in sport and active play.
- Organising inter-school sports competitions and festivals to encourage teamwork and healthy competition.
- Providing training and professional development for staff to deliver high-quality PE and sport.
- Supporting active travel initiatives (such as walking or cycling to school) to promote daily physical activity.
