PE and Sport Premium – Governor, Headteacher and PE leads presentations


Wiltshire and Swindon Sport’s Primary PE and Sport Premium Lead Officer Rik Grover can offer two separate PowerPoint presentations offering guidance and support on the primary sports premium.


The first presentation is designed for Head teachers, PLTs and school staff, whilst the second is intended for School Governors. Both presentations are approximately 20 minutes in duration and give an overview of the local and national picture of the Primary Sports Premium, plus relevant information depending on the presentation audience. A guidebook accompanies the Governors’ presentation. These presentations are FREE of charge.


Does PE matter in your school?


There has never been a more important time for PE in primary schools.


Recent research finds that half of all seven-year olds do not get enough exercise, only 38 per cent of girls at that age take part in the recommended hour of moderate or vigorous exercise a day and one in


three young people leave primary school overweight. These statistics show how important high-quality PE and sport is in tackling the growing levels of inactivity amongst primary age children in the UK.


If young people enjoy taking part in physical activity early on in life, they will go on to lead active healthy lifestyles, but if they have a bad experience, particularly at school, they could be put off for life. Physical activity is associated with numerous health benefits for children, such as muscle and bone strength, health and fitness, improved quality of sleep and maintenance of a healthy weight. There is also evidence that physical activity and participating in organised sports and after school clubs is linked to improved academic performance.


If you would like Rik to come to your school to deliver the


presentation, or if you require advice or support with any aspects of the PSP, please

School Sport and Activity Action Plan - 2019


‘Children to have greater opportunity to access 60 minutes of physical activity every day’


Children will have a greater opportunity to access 60 minutes of daily sport and physical activity, whether that be in school, after school or during weekends and holidays, under new Government plans.


The School Sport and Activity Action Plan, outlined by Education Secretary Damian Hinds, Sport Minister Mims Davies and Minister for Public Health, Seema Kennedy, will set out a range of new measures to strengthen the role of sport within a young person’s daily routine, explain how teachers and parents can play their part, and promote a joined-up approach to physical activity and mental wellbeing.


It comes after the latest data from Sport England’s Active Lives Children and Young People Survey showed that a third of children are currently doing fewer than 30 minutes of physical activity a day.


Ofsted’s new Inspection Framework came into effect in September. Amanda Spielman, HM Chief Inspector of Education, said: “Schools that offer children a broad, balanced education, including plenty of opportunities to get active during the school day and


through extracurricular activities, will be rewarded under our new inspection regime.”


As part of the plan, the Government has committed to launch a series of regional pilots to trial innovative approaches to getting more young people active, particularly less active groups such as girls and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.


Schools and sports clubs will also work together to share their facilities and expertise, giving more pupils access to character-building competitive sport and volunteering opportunities. They will focus on ensuring boys and girls have an equal and coordinated offer of sport, competition and activity, including modern PE lessons and access to high-quality clubs and competitions after school and during weekends and holidays.


The Chief Medical Officers’ guidance on daily physical activity levels sets out that children should do at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day. Schools should ensure all pupils have access to 30 minutes of physical activity every day, which are currently delivered through PE lessons and lunchtime sports clubs as well as innovative activities such as The Daily Mile, and building in activity to classroom lessons, with 30 minutes also delivered outside the school day.
