Sport England has funded, developed and today launched a suite of films aimed at promoting best practice use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium.

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils, with £450 million being spent on this over the three academic years up to 2015/16.

Sport England and other national partners are working with the Government to support the Primary PE and Sport Premium fund and have collectively developed the following vision for PE and School Sport:

“All pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.”

Sport England’s films are being used as a means to engage with primary schools and raise the profile of the Premium and Best Practice Use in schools.

Targeted at head teachers, governors, staff and coaches, the films carry some important messages and carry some key messages, namely:

• Engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
• A tool for whole school improvement
• Increase the confidence and skills of all staff in teaching PE
• More children – more sports – more competition
