Ofsted report – Primary PE
• Teachers lack of detailed subject knowledge
• Superficial lesson planning and limited use of
assessment
• Not enough opportunities for pupils to participate and
compete in school sport
• No strategy to improve the health and wellbeing of all
pupils
Ofsted report – Sport Premium
Schools should:
1. ensure that their strategic plans for using the new funding include
clear, measurable targets for improvement
2. clearly show how school leaders will evaluate the impact that the
premium is having on improving PE and sports provision
3. regularly monitor the work of specialist PE teachers and sports
coaches to ensure that their teaching and coaching are consistently
good
4. ensure that the professional development of staff is systematically
planned and tailored to the individual needs of teachers and
classroom assistants
5. monitor the impact of professional development to ensure a lasting
legacy of consistently good teaching of PE
6. identify ‘non-participants’ in extra-curricular sport and provide
additional activities to encourage their immediate and longer-term
participation in sport and physical activity
7. introduce activities specifically aimed at enabling their most able
pupils to achieve high standards in PE and sport

YST Quality Mark self review
“Although most of the schools visited were using
the premium in effective ways, some common
weaknesses were noted. Strategic planning was
generally poor. Monitoring and evaluation of the
impact of actions to improve the provision of PE
and sports were not rigorous enough. For
example, too often, teachers’ professional
development was not planned thoroughly.
Additionally, there were often no means of
evaluating the impact of actions taken to improve
teachers’ effectiveness in teaching PE.”
