PE and Sport Premium
PE Sport Funding
The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport - will be allocated to primary school headteachers.
At Mill View, we are committed to ensuring that our Sport Premium Funding is used to achieve and enhance 5 key indicators:
- Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
- Raise the profile of PE and Sport across school
- Increase confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- Broaden experiences through the range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- Increase participation in competitive sport
We have identified priorities for 2025/26 that will ensure that we are able to confidently meet these key indicators.
-
Maintain a high profile for physical activity across the school, embedding sport and movement into the wider culture and ethos of the school.
-
Drive participation in a wide range of sports and physical activities, ensuring all pupils have access to a diverse and inclusive PE curriculum and extracurricular offer.
-
Utilise the Chester Schools Sports Partnership and Chester School Sport Association to provide extensive opportunities for pupils to take part in a wide range of competitive sporting events, including inter-school competitions, festivals, and tournaments.
-
Ensure all pupils achieve 60 active minutes daily, incorporating initiatives such as the Daily Mile to promote regular movement throughout the school day.
-
Continue to boost levels of regular physical activity for all children, particularly through structured breaktime and lunchtime activities and enhanced extracurricular provision.

Upskill and develop staff in their planning and delivery of high-quality PE lessons, with a continued focus on sustainable and confident teaching across all key stages.

Increase participation of pupils with SEND in extracurricular sporting activities and competitive events, ensuring accessibility and inclusion are prioritised.

Increase engagement of EAL pupils in physical activity, both within school and in community-based events, by removing barriers to participation and promoting inclusive practice.

Engage disadvantaged and EAL pupils more widely in physical activity and sport through targeted clubs, mentoring, and partnership with external organisations.
