How Will You Spend Your Sports Premium?
Sports premium funding should be used to help schools continue to use physical education, sport and physical activity as a tool to improve educational attainment, emotional and physical health and wellbeing.
Our PE and Sport premium range ensures pupils leave primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle and commit to a lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
To help your school navigate the minefield of what to spend your money on, we have created exclusive packages to help you decide.
Freestanding Sports Premium Equipment
Included within the Sports Premium Guidance document, the Department of Education state that the Sport Premium should not be used for anything classified as 'capital expenditure', which includes:
- MUGAs
- Daily Mile Tracks
- Forest School Environments
- Trim Trails
- Fixed Playground Equipment (e.g. climbing frames, play towers)
With this new rule being implemented for the 2023/24 Sport Premium budget, a lot of schools have been left confused on how they can spend their Sport Premium.
Following the guidelines laid out by the Department of Education, our design team has created a wide range of fantastic play equipment that helps children develop physically and qualifies as equipment that can be bought with the PE and Sport Premium!
There are so many exciting freestanding options that will achieve the following objectives:
- Increases engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity.
- Contributes to the improvement of the school as a whole by raising the profile of sports and PE.
- Builds knowledge of P.E and sport in staff so they confidently teach and share their understanding.
- Offers a variety of sports/ physical activity opportunities for all pupils.
- Encourages participation in competitive sport.
With hundreds of schools using Pentagon Play to spend their remaining sports premium, we know what equipment is a perfect investment for your school.
Spending your sports premium doesn't have to be a stressful job either. Our team of Internal Learning Advisors are happy to support you and advise you on your sports premium budget. The knowledge and expertise our ILA team have will help your school make the best decision for your pupils and future generations.
No matter the size of your school, you can count on Pentagon Play to help you get the best play equipment with your PE and Sport premium today!

Don't forget that on the 31st July 2024, your sports premium will be revoked. You will not be able to carry over any of the remaining budget, so make sure that you spend the full amount to get the most for your pupils! We have a fantastic blog regarding the topic of understanding sports premium and you can always contact us for more help or advice.
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how pleased we are with all our new equipment. The children are so excited to get out there tomorrow. We are all over the moon. Thank you for all your help and support throughout the process.
More importantly i would like to praise the 2 lads that have worked so very hard for the past 2 days at our setting. They are a credit to your company and I would have them back on site without question. On both days they have been punctual, well organised, polite and courteous, respectful, cheerful and always mindful of the safety of the children, parents, other hall users and staff. I really can not praise them enough. They even posed for a photograph for our Facebook page (displaying the Pentagon sign on their jackets of course).
Thank you again and, if and when we ever have enough funds, I would not hesitate to use Pentagon again and I will, with your consent be promoting the company through our Facebook and local Media

Thank you so much for all that you have done to enable us to have such a wonderful resource. It really has enhanced the children’s learning experience both in PE lessons and during lunch/break times! All the staff have commented on how it is a real luxury and how it has been excellent to have the additional all weather space to teach PE on.

It is amazing, I love it! One of your guys came back yesterday to fix the pipe to the water butt as there was a gap, but other than that perfect. It looks great, the parents love it and the children love the sand pit and the pulley system. Can I just say how great all the people working on it have been which is a credit to your company. Thank you so much.
