The DfE's guidance on PE and sport premium for primary schools (November 2019) states:

"All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation, and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.

Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier, more resilient and more trusting of their peers. Ensuring that pupils have access to sufficient daily activity can also have wider benefits for pupils and schools, improving behaviour as well as enhancing academic achievement."

Sports Premium 2025-2026

What is the PE and Sport Premium?

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to primary schools to improve the quality of physical education, school sport and physical activity. The funding is jointly provided by the Department for Education and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

The grant is ring-fenced and must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport provision for all pupils. It cannot be used to replace existing curriculum funding.

The amount each school receives is based on the number of eligible pupils in Years 1 to 6, using the January school census. For the 2025–2026 academic year, Frogmore Infant School received £17,140 in PE and Sport Premium funding.

Our Vision

At Frogmore Infant School, we believe that physical education plays a vital role in every child's physical, social and emotional development. We are committed to providing a broad, inclusive and inspiring programme of sporting opportunities that encourages children to develop healthy lifestyles, build confidence and enjoy being physically active.

Our aim is for every child to leave Year 2 with the knowledge, skills and motivation to continue participating in sport and physical activity throughout their lives.

We are committed to ensuring that the PE and Sport Premium benefits every pupil, regardless of ability, background or additional need.

How We Have Used Our PE and Sport Premium

During the 2025–2026 academic year, the PE and Sport Premium has enabled us to enhance the quality and breadth of sporting opportunities available to our pupils.

High-quality professional learning

We have invested in high quality professional learning for our teachers  to ensure a consistency of high quality teaching during  PE lessons through further developing teachers' confidence and subject knowledge. This ensures that improvements are sustainable and continue to benefit pupils in future years.

Increasing Participation

The funding has allowed us to provide a wider range of sporting activities both during the school day and through participation at external events, giving more children the opportunity to become active and discover sports they enjoy.

Inclusive Opportunities

We continue to ensure that all pupils have access to high-quality physical activity, including those with SEND, disadvantaged pupils, children with long-term medical needs and pupils who may be less confident participating in sport. We have ensured that a range of equipment is available to meet pupils' needs.

Impact of Our Spending

Our PE and Sport Premium funding has enabled us to:

• Increase participation in both curriculum PE and extracurricular sport.
• Broaden the range of sports available to pupils.
• Improve the quality of PE teaching through high quality professional development 
• Increase opportunities for girls to participate in sport.
• Support children with SEND, disadvantaged pupils and those with medical needs to access inclusive physical activity.
• Provide pupils with opportunities to compete against other schools.
• Build partnerships with local sports organisations and community clubs.
• Encourage lifelong participation in physical activity and healthy lifestyles.

Sustainable Improvements

The PE and Sport Premium is used strategically to create lasting improvements. Alongside providing immediate opportunities for pupils, we continue to develop staff expertise, strengthen community partnerships and invest in equipment that will benefit future cohorts of children.
