PE & Sport Premium

Primary PE & Sports Premium - Introduction

The Government has dedicated over £450 million to improving the quality of physical education and sport within all UK primary schools from 2013-2016. This funding is allotted to address the improvement of children’s healthy lifestyles, with provision also made towards promoting other aspects of learning that impact upon health and well-being.

The funding is ring-fenced and can only be spent upon initiatives that benefit the improvement of active healthy lifestyles. Schools can choose what they want to spend their grant upon but are accountable for ensuring that the Premium is spent appropriately. Both Department of Education and Ofsted have issued the mandatory requirement that schools must publish evidence online of their annual spend and impact.
