PE and Sport Premium

What is the PE and Sports Premium?

The Government provides additional primary school sports funding called the ‘PE and Sports Premium’. This funding is jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and goes directly to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.

Purpose of the funding

Schools have to spend the funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this. All improvements implemented through the PE and school premium will be sustained through constant curricular review and income generated through lettings.

Possible uses for the funding include:

• hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
• provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
• introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
• support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs
• run sport competitions
• increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
• run sports activities with other schools

We received £19,001 in 2023/24 sports funding through the PE and Sport Premium. In our school we use it in a range of ways which we have detailed in the following document. Please click on the link to see the breakdown of our PE and Sports Premium spending:
