Being physically active was one of the four reasons that people were allowed to leave their homes during the Covid-19 lockdown. With schools now re-opened and children settled back into learning, it’s even more important than ever to instil good behaviours, to be active throughout the day and to ensure that the Primary PE and Sport Premium is spent in an effective and impactful way to ensure sustainability of this investment.

Congratulations to our partners at Swindon Sports Forum who ran a fantastic Older People's Olympics in October 2020!  More than 50 residents from 6 Swindon care homes took part in the Virtual Senior Games, competing in a range of activites including tin can alley, target throwing, foam javelin and golf putting. 

It is important that your grant is used effectively and based on school need. The Education Inspection Framework (Ofsted 2019 p64) makes clear there will be a focus on ‘whether leaders and those responsible for governors all understand their respective roles and perform these in a way that enhances the effectiveness of the school’.
