The PE and Sport Premium is a government fund given to primary schools to help improve the quality of PE, sport, and physical activity. Used correctly, it can have a huge impact on your pupils’ health, wellbeing, and activity levels.
At Super Star Sport, we support schools across the UK to use their funding in the most effective and sustainable way. Below is a simple guide for headteachers looking to plan their spend for the academic year.

What Can the PE and Sport Premium Be Used For?

According to official Department for Education guidance, the funding must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity in your school.
You can spend it on:
Hiring qualified sports coaches to work alongside teachers and support PE delivery
CPD for teaching staff to improve their confidence and ability in delivering PE lessons
Providing targeted support or activities to involve the least active children
Running after-school clubs, breakfast clubs or sports activities
Buying equipment or resources to support new sports or activities
Increased participation in competitive sport, both internally and externally

You cannot spend the premium on:
Employing coaches or sports staff to cover PPA in place of teachers (unless it includes staff CPD)
Capital projects such as building facilities
Any provision that does not add long-term value or is not PE/sport related

How Schools Can Use Their PE Premium Effectively

Here are some of the most impactful ways we’ve seen schools spend the funding:
1. Work with a Specialist Sports Coaching Company
Partnering with a trusted PE provider can bring specialist coaches into your school to support delivery and upskill your staff. At Super Star Sport, all our coaches are fully trained, DBS-checked, and experienced in working with primary-aged children.
2. Support Staff Training and Confidence
Using part of your funding to invest in CPD ensures that class teachers feel more confident and capable when leading PE lessons. This supports long-term sustainability.
3. Broaden the Range of Sports Offered
Introducing new sports such as archery, handball, multi-skills or dance can help engage children who may not enjoy traditional team games.
4. Increase Daily Physical Activity
We help schools introduce structured physical activity opportunities throughout the day, from breakfast clubs and lunchtime zones to after-school provision and enrichment days.
