Guidance for the nomination submission

Who can nominate:

Any school receiving the Primary PE and School Sport premium is eligible to nominate or be nominated for an award;

• The school (teacher, support staff, governor etc.)
• A parent / extended family member
• A partner of the school (local authority, academy sponsor, school games organiser, coaching organisation etc.)
• Your example should have developed or added to the PE and sport activities that your school already offers and make improvements now that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years. Impact should be clearly measured and applications should include qualitative and/or quantitative evidence including quotes from teachers, pupils and, where possible, parents.

Category Criteria

Category One: 'Sustainability'	For activities or interventions that will endure and not require constant funding. Initial funding may have been required to start the programme, but longer term, cost will be absorbed or reduced to make it sustainable long term. This could include staff development. The interventions should be maintainable after the premium funding is no longer available.
Category Two: ‘Innovation’	For ground-breaking and original ideas or interventions that other schools could learn from. These may be ideas implemented as a result of Covid-19. The application should demonstrate creativity by a teacher, school or group of schools to improve outcomes for pupils through PE, sport or physical activity.
Category Three: 'Active Schools’	For schools which can demonstrate that they have embedded physical activity in their ethos and throughout their systems. It should focus on whole school development and engagement. Schools should evidence how pupils are regularly active throughout the day including before and after school, during lessons and play times.
