What is the PE and Sports Premium?
The government provides additional funding for maintained schools and academies to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and Sport. Each school will receive £16,000 plus an extra £10 per pupil each year. For 2022/2023 this money equates to £19,400.
At Rowlatts Mead, we identify the contribution of PE and Sport to the health and well-being of the children. We are firm believers that an innovative and varied PE Curriculum, combined with regular extra-curricular activities have a positive influence on developing children’s physical literacy resulting in increased levels of concentration, attitude and academic achievement of all our children.
How do we use the PE and Sports Premium?
At Rowlatts Mead, we aim to use the PE and Sports Premium effectively to see continued improvements against the following five key indicators:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – at least thirty minutes of physical activity in school per day.
- The profile of PESSPA being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement.
- Increased confidence, knowledge, and skills of all staff in teaching PE and Sport.
- Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils.
- Increased participation in competitive sport.

The Impact in 2024 – 25
This academic year at Rowlatts Mead there have been significant improvements and continued commitment to Physical Education and Sport across the school.
Pupils have had access to a wide variety of sports through both the curriculum and extra-curricular provision. Sports offered have included football, basketball, cricket, netball, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, rounders, badminton and dance, among others. A strong proportion of pupils from KS1 and KS2 engaged in extra-curricular clubs, demonstrating the school’s success in increasing participation beyond lesson time.
We have continued to work with external coaches and specialist providers to enrich the PE curriculum and provide expert-led sports clubs. This has included partnerships with recognised organisations across the city. These opportunities have not only supported pupils with high-quality coaching but have also enhanced the professional development of staff, who report increased confidence and subject knowledge in the delivery of PE.
The Physical Education and Sports curriculum at Rowlatts Mead is contributing positively to pupils’ behaviour, welfare and well-being – both physical and mental. From EYFS through to Year 6, pupils develop fundamental movement skills which are built upon progressively as they move through school. Our aim is to provide positive, engaging experiences that inspire lifelong involvement in sport and physical activity.
Through our involvement with The Mead Educational Trust, pupils have been able to take part in a wider range of inter-school competitions and festivals. This has created opportunities for pupils to represent the school and to develop teamwork, resilience and sporting values. A strong number of pupils across the year took part in competitions, showing that sport has a high profile within Rowlatts Mead.
PE and Sports Premium Funding has therefore made a measurable difference in broadening opportunities, improving teaching and raising participation levels across the school.
