Sports Premium
What is the PE and Sports Premium Funding?
Since 2013 the government has provided funding to primary schools to support their PE provisions. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and will see money going directly to schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.
Purpose of Funding
Schools have to spend the sport funding on improving provision of PE and sport but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
The vision for the Primary PE and Sport Premium is that ALL pupils leaving primary school are physically literate and leave with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport.
The funding has been provided to ensure impact against the following OBJECTIVE:
To achieve self-sustaining improvement in the quality of PE and sport in primary schools.
It is important to emphasise that the focus of spending must lead to long lasting impact against the vision that will live on well beyond the Primary PE and Sport Premium funding.
