PE and Sport Premium

The government have committed to provide dedicated Physical Education and Sports Premium funding for primary schools to improve PE and sports activities. This funding has been allocated directly to primary schools who have a certain degree of autonomy with how they spend it.

Many schools utilise this funding in the following areas:

  • Hire specialist PE teachers
  • Hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
  • Provide existing staff with teaching resources to help them teach PE and sport
  • Support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs to after school
  • Run sport competitions or increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
  • Run sports activities with other schools
