Sports Premium
BackAbout the PE and Sport Premium
The government introduced a sports premium grant for schools in September 2013. The PE and sport premium is designed to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through the school’s core budget.
It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils. The Government is spending over £320 million on this funding over the forthcoming academic year.
The objectives of the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding are:
- To develop or add to the PE, physical activity and sport that your school provides.
- To build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
This is achieved by:
- Engaging all pupils in regular physical activity.
- Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement.
- Increasing confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport.
- Ensuring a wide range of sports and activities are offered to all pupils.
- Increased participation in competitive sport.
