Sports Premium

We are a school which loves sport! From our range of free extracurricular activities to our commitment to developing high quality PE lessons for every learner, we understand the value of physical activity not only on our learner’s fitness but also on their mental health, well-being and academic achievement.

Primary school PE and sport funding 2025-26

What is it?

The Government is providing additional funding for schools to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.

The purpose of the PE and sport premium grant is for schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

This means schools must use the PE and sport premium to:

support all children and young people to live healthy, active lives
make participation in PE and school sport easier
make sure all children can achieve and thrive through increased physical activity and sport, no matter their background or ability
improve children’s health, wellbeing, personal development and academic attainment
embed the foundations of positive and enjoyable participation in regular physical activity.

How much school sports funding does Redbrook Hayes Community Primary School receive?-

In the financial year 2025-26 Redbrook Hayes received £17,730

How does Redbrook Hayes spend this funding on improving PE and sport across the school?

Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport but they have the freedom to choose how they do this.

Possible uses for the funding might include:

providing continued professional development (CPD) for all staff
embedding physical activity into the school day, by encouraging active travel to and from school and having active break times
providing targeted activities or support to involve and encourage the least active children
helping to provide equal access for all pupils to the range of sports and physical activities that the school offers
providing extra-curricular opportunities for children to enable them to access other sporting activities or specialist sport instruction
providing specialist support to help children with additional needs to access and participate fully in PE lessons
entering local school competitions and holding inter-house competitions in the school to encourage participation

There are 5 key areas that schools should expect to see improvement across:

increase all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sporting activities
increase all pupils’ engagement in regular physical activity and sporting activities
raise the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement
offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities to all pupils, and ensure equal access to sport for boys and girls
increase participation in competitive sport
