Sports Premium
PE and Sport Premium
The Government has provided additional funding of £150 million per annum to schools since 2014 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.
This ring fenced funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and money is going directly to primary school Headteachers to spend on improving the quality and provision of sport and PE for all their children.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools and each year, schools are required to report on how much funding it has received and how this has been spent. Currently all schools with more than 17 pupils receive a lump sum of £16,000 plus a premium of £10 per pupil.

- Continue to offer a wide variety of after-school activity clubs with participation open to all pupils
- Funding PE workshops such as skipping.
- Increase the amount of outdoor active learning the children can participate in.

- Increasing the length of time the children are physically active.
- Introducing an active lunchtime club run by a trained sports provider
