Ofsted accountability measures for the primary PE and sport funding

The Golden Mile is a perfect ALL inclusive initiative designed to engage even the most disengaged pupils to easily increase participation rates for your school, including virtual intra & inter competition.

Following the primary PE and sport funding, The Golden Mile is used by schools to provide impact measurements and to demonstrate the funding is spent effectively...

The impact of the funding will be considered in terms of:

Increased participation in competitive school sport
personal health and well-being
Improved attitudes and behaviour towards learning

“Inspectors must take account how increasing participation in PE and sport is helping all pupils develop healthy lifestyles and reach the performance levels they are capable of, when making judgements about the achievement of pupils at the school”

Councils to double spending on ‘inactivity epidemic’ finds report

Steps to solving inactivity, published by ukactive, reveals that local authorities have allocated 4% of their public health grant on tackling inactivity in 2014.15, compared to 3% in 2012/14. The figures also show that 70% of councils have increased their allocated budget on physical activity.

The report shows that 29% of people in England are physically inactive, so it calls for more to be done to capture and evaluate physical activity programme data.

Public Health England launches framework to tackle inactivity

Public Health England (PHE) has today published Everybody Active, Every Day, a framework for nationwide action to combat the physical inactivity epidemic. PHE’s latest statistics place inactivity responsible for one in six deaths in England and put its cost to the country at an estimated £7.4bn a year. The framework is the first consolidation of national and local priorities, including the Moving More, Living More commitment to a physical activity legacy from the 2012 Games, and NICE guidance.
