Maintained schools, including those that convert to academies, MUST publish, on their website, information about their effective and sustainable use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.
Following on from the refreshed Primary PE and Sport Premium guidance published by the Department for Education, one of the changes is to the date when schools must report on their spend by. The new reporting deadline is by the end of the summer term or by 31 July 2019 at the latest.
Schools must publish the amount of Primary PE and Sport Premium received; a full breakdown of how it has been spent (or will be spent); what impact the school has seen on pupils’ PE, physical activity and sport participation and attainment and how the improvements will be sustainable in the future. Schools must also provide swimming data in relation to their year 6 cohort in 2018/19.
The Department for Education initially commissioned the Association for Physical Education and the Youth Sport Trust to create a national template which has now been revised to include the recent changes. Head teachers, Governors and Subject Leaders will be able to use this simple reporting mechanism to ensure they are grant compliant in demonstrating effective use of the grant to achieve a sustainable impact.
