Sport Funding
PE and sport premium for primary schools
The PE and Sport Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils.
It was set up in 2013 to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. The government provided an additional £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2015. The success of the PE and sport premium has led the government to extending their pledge and providing additional funding until 2020. This funding, provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, is being allocated to primary schools. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
