PE and Sport Premium

All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. As set out in the 2015 cross-government sport strategy Sporting Future1, sport and physical activity improve our children’s physical and mental wellbeing, and help them to develop important skills like teamwork and leadership.

A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation, and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a worldclass education system. Physical literacy (building physical competency alongside confidence, enjoyment, knowledge and understanding) and high quality, modern physical education (PE) lessons that engage boys and girls of different backgrounds and abilities should be a fundamental part of every child’s school experience.
