You should use it to make sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity you provide, such as:

  • Funding high-quality PE and sport for at least 2 hours a week
  • Providing a wide range of extracurricular sport and competitive opportunities
  • Providing or improving equal access to sport for boys and girls

Increasing all staff’s confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport Increasing engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity and sport Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school, to support whole school improvement Offering a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities
