This template can be used for multiple purposes:
• It enables schools to effectively plan their use of the Primary PE and sport premium
• It helps schools to meet the requirements (as set out in guidance) to publish information on their Primary PE and sport premium
• It will be an effective document to support Ofsted inspections enabling schools to evidence progress in Physical Education (PE) and evidence swimming attainment, which forms part of the PE National Curriculum. We would recommend schools consider the Intent, Implementation and Impact of any spend, as examined within the Education Inspection Framework.
It is important that your grant is used effectively and based on school need.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, School Sport and Physical Activity (PESSPA) they offer. This means that you should use the Primary PE and sport premium to:
• Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years
• Develop or add to the PESSPA activities that your school already offers.
The Primary PE and sport premium should not be used to fund capital spend projects; the school’s core budget should fund these. Further detail on capital expenditure can be found in the updated Primary PE and sport premium guidance.
The Primary PE and sport premium guidance, outlines 5 key priorities that funding should be used towards. It is not
necessary that spending has to meet all the key priorities, you should select the priorities that you aim to use any funding towards.
Although completing this template is not a requirement for schools, schools are required to publish details of how they spend this funding. Schools must also outline what the impact this funding has had on pupils’ PE and sport participation and attainment and how any spending will be sustainable in the future. All funding must be spent by 31st July 2024.
The Department for Education has worked closely with the Association for Physical Education (afPE) and the Youth Sport Trust (YST) to develop this template and encourages schools to use it. This template is an effective way of meeting the reporting requirements of the Primary PE and sport premium.

96% of children in a recent survey said that OPAL is having a positive impact on their play times.
Children said that OPAL has improved many aspects of their learning such as:
teamwork and sharing
problem solving
designing and creating skills
96% of children said that they are happier at playtimes now that there are more activities to do.
The 4% of children were all footballers who said that because they always play football at break and lunch, OPAL has not had a significant impact on them personally. Children have been keen to say that they enjoy the denbuilding and the new race-track but they are looking forward to being able to ride scooters around (Sept. 24)
More equipment means children can more readily set themselves aspirational yet attainable personal goals when learning particular sports leading to good to outstanding progress and higher attainment.

Comments
Cost of implementing OPAL has taken up the majority of the SP budget due to extra resourcing costs on top of initial payment of £5500. However, the 2 major expenditures for OPAL have now been made and the school we will now drive to receive donations/fundraise in order to fund further resources.
CPD next academic year to be linked with the new scheme of work and cycle b for PE.
This will continue into next academic year. Due to the success this year, Year 1 and 2 will also be invited to take part.
