PE and Sport Premium:
Reporting on the use of PE and sport funding in primary school inspections
A review of recently published reports has raised concerns about inspecting the use of PE and Sport Premium. Not all inspectors are reporting on how effectively school leaders are spending this funding, or the difference it is making to the quality of primary PE and school sport provision.
Inspectors are required to report upon:
How effectively the school uses the primary school PE and Sport Premium to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. This includes increasing participation in PE and sport so that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of. This must be recorded and coded on an evidence form, and summarised in the report (School inspection handbook).
Reports must include a clear judgement about how effectively school leaders are spending their funding including the reasons why, and what they are aiming to achieve. Inspectors must also comment on the impact this funding is having since its introduction in 2013, on improving the quality of PE teaching, raising pupils’ participation and performance in sport, and promoting their physical health.
This judgement should be based on firm evidence gained from observing pupils in PE lessons or after school clubs, in discussions with school leaders and governors, and with pupils. Inspectors are reminded to check details of a school’s PE and sport provision on their website prior to an inspection.
