Benefits of the survey

Each school will receive a bespoke report outlining their results from the survey which will cover measures of children’s activity levels, physical literacy, swimming proficiency, well-being, self-efficacy and levels of social trust. This will provide schools with evidence and insight into how the school is performing in terms of engaging its pupils in sport and physical activity. The report can then be used as a great baseline for the school to identify and plan their use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding or as a great overview of the health and well-being of their pupils.

Schools will also receive a Healthy Schools Rating from the DFE based on the schools approach to 4 areas:

  1. Food Education
  2. School Food Standards
  3. Physical Education
  4. Active Travel

Sampled Schools will have the opportunity to select from a range of sports equipment as a thank you for their involvement in the survey. Schools will be able to pick from a range of 31 items which include equipment for multi-skills, such as agility mats and sports day kits, as well as items aimed at play such as balls and a parachute canopy. The range also includes sport specific, fitness and inclusive sport equipment, ie boccia and goalball kits, and means that all age ranges and abilities are covered.

The value of the sports equipment offered to schools will be at least £100, and in most instances will be of greater value. Schools will receive 10 credits as a base incentive if they meet the criteria and this can be used to select either one 10 credit item or two 5 credit items. Parental responses (Primary Schools only) will continue to generate additional credits ie for every five parental responses received a school will earn a further 5 credits. There is no cap on the amount of additional credits available for parental responses.
