Risby CEVC Primary School receives an annual PE & Sport Premium from the Department for Education (DfE).  This funding supports us in delivering high-quality physical education and embedding a culture of lifelong physical activity across our school.

The funding is used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE, physical activity and school sport, ensuring that all pupils develop the skills, confidence and motivation to be active both during their time at Risby and throughout their lives.  

The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that all children and young people engage in an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.  Schools have an important role in supporting children to achieve this, particularly those who may have limited opportunities to be physically active outside school.

Our Vision for PE and Sport

At Risby, we want all pupils to have access to high-quality PE lessons, active play opportunities, structured physical activity at break and lunchtimes, and wider enrichment through extracurricular clubs, workshops and competitions.

Our aim is for every child to leave Risby Primary School physically literate, with the knowledge, skills, confidence and motivation needed to participate in physical activity throughout their lives.

We use our PE & Sport Premium funding to support the five key indicators:

• Increase the confidence, knowledge and skills of staff in teaching PE and sport.

• Engage all pupils in regular physical activity and sport.

• Raise the profile of PE and sport across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement.

• Provide pupils with a broader range of sports and physical activities.

• Increase participation in competitive sport.

Impact of PE & Sport Premium

During 2025/2026, our work included continuing to use Complete PE to support high-quality teaching and staff development; providing extracurricular sporting opportunities; developing physical activity at break and lunchtimes; celebrating sporting achievements; and providing opportunities to participate in competitions and School Games.

Pupils have also benefited from wider sporting and physical activity experiences, including dance, skipping, swimming, sports clubs, Sports Day and competitive sporting opportunities.

Our evaluation shows a positive impact across the school. Teachers continue to use Complete PE and report increased confidence in teaching PE. Lunchtime football achieved 100% uptake, while extracurricular clubs maintained participation levels. Behaviour at break times has improved, and more children are engaging in physical activity.

Sporting and physical achievements are increasingly being shared and celebrated, and participation in activities has encouraged some children to join sporting clubs within the wider community. Participation in School Games has also been maintained.

PE & Sport Premium Funding 2025/2026

For the 2025/2026 academic year, Risby Primary School received £16,264 in PE & Sport Premium funding.
