PE and Sports Premium UPDATE
There’s been an update to the PE and sport premium conditions.
And we wanted to bring to your attention a particular detail:
Premium must be spent in full by the end of the 2021-2022 academic year.
That includes any underspend, so any premium that was rolled over as a result of the pandemic.
And you need to publish information about your spend on your school’s website by 31st July 2022.
So, if you’ve got premium to use, here we’ve highlighted some programmes that directly meet the Department of Education’s 5 key indicators of suitable premium spend.
What are the 5 key indicators?
Before we jump into the programmes, we just wanted to refresh your memory of the 5 key indicators .
As you know, the PE and sport premium must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of your school’s PE, physical activity and sport provision.
You should expect to see improvements across 5 key indicators:
- Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
- 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 physical activities offered to all pupils.
- Increased participation in competitive sport.

MOTM and EOTM develop children’s confidence and attainment in key areas of the KS1 and KS2 maths and English curriculum.
And by embedding physical activity into the school day, the programme raises the profile of PE and sport across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement.
